Hoax Bid costs Tsunami Appeal
Yesterday the MCC played an International XI in a cricket match to
raise money for the Tsunami appeal.Many of the worlds leading cricketers took part in the one day match which the MCC won by 112 runs.
The one big disappointment of the day was an Auction on eBay for the right to face an over from Shane Warne, one of the worlds leading bowlers in front of the 20,000 crowd at this famous home of cricket.
There was a lot of spirited bidding for the item which included some tuition from Sachin Tendulkar the prolific Indian run scorer and the 6 balls from Warne which were going to be bowled between the two innings.
However, it turned out that the winning bid was a hoax and in the short time available the MCC was unable to contact the highest genuine bidder.
