Fujitsu’s $100,000 offer

Fujitsu will donate $100,000 to the Canterbury Earthquake Appeal if Prime Minister John Key can hit a boundary off Shane Warne at Sunday’s Fill the Basin Twenty20 match.

“I have seen the Prime Minister bat and I was pretty impressed If he is on form then Fujitsu will be making a sizeable donation,” Stephen Fleming said.

“Shane has been talking about the match on Twitter and he seems excited about the prospect of taking the Prime Minister’s wicket, so this will be a really competitive event.

“It’s great to see companies like Fujitsu supporting this match. We have had a tremendous response from the commercial sector which will help us to raise funds for Canterbury.”
