Fleming Rips into Richardson

That's a bit harsh mate. Luck had nothing to do with our good results. We have some good players that are the result of our academy system bearing it's fruit. Unfortunately we didn't have access to our best lineup, whereas England did.Richard said:
In the 2004 series we came up against a very good and much improved England - proven by the subsequent result of the Ashes series - who were the better side. However, if you recall, NZ were unbeaten in the one-day series, and England didn't make the final.
I'd be more worried about England's performances since the Ashes. Sadly, it looks like they've gone backwards.

Do you seriously believe that? Have you seen the clip? That was no scripted hoax. The look of contempt on Fleming's face should win an Oscar if it was.dantheman said:

NO WAY is that scripted, key part for me is Flemings first comment "your an idiot" He SPITS it out like its a thought that got away on him

Well obviously so it looked like it was real. Think about it what is more believeable? A mouth full that Flemming gives Rigger after a REAL interview in a REAL GAME or something that is obviously made up and put out as sitcom piece.
Sure it looks real and well what flemming said is absolutely true but hey thats they explanation they are giving so whats the point in searching for conspiracy theories on it?
We will have to wait until Cricket Company comes on tv.
James said:
1) It wasn't broadcast, it was never on tv, it was something recorded AFTER the interview had finished.
2) No explaination was needed because it wasn't broadcasted on TV.
Yes I thought it was real too, and yes I think it could still be real, but meh they gave a reason for it and they are sticking to it.

Hey Volty..bite me.
I asked radio sport, they gave a reason for it, I am just not going to dig deeper. What's the point?
Rigger might not have wanted to comment because he didn't want to ruin the 'suprise' if they show it on cricket company...
Maybe, Flemming was asked to have a go at Rigger without Rigger knowing about it?
People know Rigger does the interviews, and they knew he was going to interview Flemming being the captin and all.
Voltman said:It was caught on a live raw feed. That's why it wasn't on TV...
Yeah...cameras were still rolling after the interview finished, but it wasn't being broadcast. Your point?
Seems all the more likely that they would keep cameras rolling if they knew Flemming was going to have a good at Rigger right? But they wouldn't keep broadcasting because they wouldn't want it going on to live television.
My guess is Flemming was asked to have a go at Rigger and he didn't know about it.
This is why Rigger looked so dumb founded and also why the cameras keep rolling to record it, without it actually being broadcast and ALSO why it made the internet so fast without any explanation being given from the people behind it.
The internet good for 2 things **** and conspiracy theories.

What evidence do you have that it was indeed aired on a live raw feed, by the way? The word of the person that posted it?Voltman said:It was caught on a live raw feed. That's why it wasn't on TV...
While I still think it was probably real, I don't really care either way if it's not going to be turned into a big deal by the media, and personally I'm glad that it isn't. Will be interesting to hear about this Cricket Company thing, though.
To the people who say "but it looked so real!" - I've made my best friends think I was serious when I'm just messing. Trust me, acting isn't that hard to do
EDIT: And one thing I do agree with dantheman on is "The internet good for 2 things **** and conspiracy theories."

Think about it. Why would they keep the 'live raw feed' going if they didn't know it was going to happen? WHy would they keep recording if they didn't know it was going to happen?
It was only shot on sunday I think maybe saturday, which is why NO one has commeneted about it. Rigger might not have known it was going to happen, etc etc etc. That is what a Hoax is, something elaboratley designed to fool people ( especially those on the internet who are more than eager to post the latest "did you see" or " did you hear" news)
No Volty, it wasn't on tv because it wasn't meant to be on TV. It wasn't meant to be on TV because it wasn't meant to be aired, and it wasn't meant to be aired because it isn't real.
