All-Star Apearances For Bushfire Appeal

February 16th 2009 05:52
Steve Waugh and Mark Taylor will make a special comeback in a Victorian bushfire fundraising match at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday February 22. Some famous singing relatives of famous cricketers will also be there, along with would-be cricketers from other sports.

Waugh and Taylor, two of Australian’s finest captains, will skipper rival teams that will feature both current and former cricket greats plus a wide range of Australia’s biggest sports and entertainment stars.

The three hour spectacle will commence at the family friendly time of 5.00pm.

Final team line-ups will be announced in coming days but among those who have also agreed to play are former Test stars Glenn McGrath and Michael Slater, current Australian Twenty20 players David Warner, Nathan Bracken and Moises Henriques and women’s stars Lisa Sthelaker and Ellyse Perry.

The match will also see several juicy clashes including rugby league stars Braith Anasta and Anthony Minichiello lining up against rugby union bluebloods Phil Waugh, Lote Tuqiri and Matthew Burke while Swans hero Barry Hall will be squaring off against Anthony ‘The Man’ Mundine.

Singer Shannon Noll, cousin of Steve and Mark Waugh, is keen to show off his cricket skills as are surfing stars Mick Fanning and Joel Parkinson.

Former Midnight Oil lead singer Peter Garrett returns to the SCG in footsteps of his great grandfather, Tom Garrett, who played 19 Tests for Australia between 1877 and 1888, after singing at the Waveaid concert fundraiser for the Asian Tsunami disaster four years ago.
