The crowds watching at the SCG and on TV stood and cheered as Ricky Ponting made his 40th Test century on January 4, but it was a close call.
Ponting was forced to dive to make his ground as the throw came in leaving his white shirt covered in ground-in dirt from the hallowed turf of the SCG pitch.
Shortly afterwards, in an interview with Nine's Wide World of Sport, Rianna Ponting announced the shirt would be auctioned for the Ponting Foundation through their website.
"The Foundation was being inundated with enquiry regarding the shirt. We were thrilled at how quickly IMG STG were able to get the auction site live," said Ponting Foundation General Manager, Jo Crowley.
"With the help of IMG STG the auction was up and running within hours of Ricky's great achievement. We ran the auction for 10 days raising more than $15,000 to assist the Foundation's work in helping young Australians and families beat cancer."
