Nice initiative... HOWEVER.. what is Shane Watson doing playing in it? If he can play for the charity match, then he should get his skates on, get playing for QLD and get back into the side for the finals of the CB ODI series... ;)

Should be some good fun though... Chee always provides good entertainment and Slats, Warnie and McGrath will give the game a bit more spice... :)

Good work by South Sydney for doing this.. and hope the day goes well... :D :D
