The floods that hit Queensland and affected parts of Australia have hit home with Shane Watson who has a family home in Ipswich while other cricketers are clearly affected by the goings on with the Big Bash Twenty20 match also postponed in the region due to the incessant rains and floods that are believed to be Australia's worst since 1974.
The cricketers have not only donated a part of the match fees but also, were seen doing their bit in collecting funds int he course of the England Australia Twenty20 matches to help raise funds for the flood victims whose homes have been destroyed with a few even losing their close ones.
The floods have plunged Australia into a new low and for some players such as Watson, they are truly beginning to realize how cricket has been a rallying force as something as big as a national and natural tragedy has affected the nation.
Word has it that Shane Warne and Michael Vaughan, both former cricketers, are keenly interested in organized a legends Twenty20 match to help generate the necessary funds, once again bringing to the fore the responsibilities that go with cricketers who are looked upon as celebrities and role models whose behaviour and efforts can impact the society at large.
