Christchurch, New Zealand was rocked by 2 massive earthquakes within 6 months. The first rocked on Saturday 4 Sept 2010 at 4.35am and struck just outside of Chch measuring 7.1M and caused widespread damage. Fortunately there were no fatalities.

Then after close to 5000 aftershocks on Tuesday 22 Feb 2011 at 12.51pm the worst possible happened. The city was again rocked with another huge quake measuring 6.3M and it was center just 10k from the city at a depth of only 5km! This time there were numerous deaths. The total stands at 166 and counting. There is still many many more missing in rubble and bodies to yet be recovered.

A charity match in called "Filled the Basin" in Wellington for the Christchurch earthquake appeal was organised by Ex-NZ captain Stephen Fleming and he joined many other celebrities and ex players to play in this match on Sunday 13 Mach 2011.

In one over Fujitsu offered 100kNZD if PM John Key could hit a single 4 off Spin King Shane Warne. In which he did, infact he hit 3! and one was inches from being a 6.
