* England cricket great Ian Botham said today he was stunned by the devastation which he saw during a visit last month to Sri Lanka's tsunami-hit southern region.
"It was mind-blowing," he said in Portugal where he was taking part in the Laureus World Sports awards in Estoril.
"I was there only 18 months ago with England and staying in the Galle area in a beach house with six other commentators. But when I returned, that house was totally gone after being hit by the tsunami with 30 feet (nine metres) of water travelling at around 300 miles per hour (480 km/h)."
Botham, 48, visited several villages.
