13 March. The Prime Minister participated in the celebrity cricket match on Sunday at The Basin in Wellington to raise funds for the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal. By hitting a boundary off Shane Warne, he secured a $100,000 donation from Fujitsu. Altogether, the match raised about half a million dollars for the charity. According to news sources, the match, organised by former Black Caps captain Stephen Fleming, was played in front of a 10,000 strong crowd.
