Fleming Rips into Richardson

Well i could be wrong.
But it is a bit like believing Tom Cruise or that tosser from the new star war movie ( the dude who specialised in looking like a twerp - Darth vader before he became darth) turning out a performance akin to Tim Robbins in Shawshank redemption.......

It looked way too real to me given the 'acting expetise' displayed by these folks before....

Me too, C_C - I was totally sucked in, but I'm perfectly willing to accept the explanation given (grudgingly)

Unsure

I reckon the best guy(s) to ask would be the camera man or crew, cause they were the ones to recorded it all and they of known something was going to happen or maybe by chance they left it going and got Steven blowing up Mark.
Time will tell have to wait till Thursday night to see the whole story.

To be honest I think it was a stupid time to do that, cause we all should be talking about Mr Bond he was amazing, he is getting better n better with every match he is our biggest assest to win the world cup.
It was a funny clip, but wrong time to do it.

All the lime light is off the real stars

So because their attempted "hoax" was blown early by their forgetfulness about internet braodcasts and we asked questions rather than hoping meekly that all is well in NZ Cricket and everyone gets on, you consider that sucked in? Good on ya.

awww just because you got taken for a fool volty, admit it you were had. You were spinning all this **** about the video being completely real, you even gave me a ribbing for *GASPS* believing what radio sport and articles on the internet say.

The only reason their hoax was blown early is because some person who was a bit over zealous threw it up on the net before it had aired properly. OF COURSE They aren't going to explain it before it's aired what would be the point in that? IT is a spoof and telling everyone about it would ruin the joke wouldn't it?

You go on believing is real though volty.

Who was hoping meekly? OF course not everyone in NZ cricket gets on, but FFS at least wait until you hear the WHOLE story about a bit of footage that was aired accidentally before you go cooking up conspiracy theories. Yes YOU got SUCKED IN, admit it. Go back read over your posts and say you didn't get caught out by it.


I don't think "gullable" was ever in it, Daniel.

Yeah i suppose 'grudgingly' and skeptical acceptance would describe my position over it too.
But either which way, its a pretty trivial matter.

I think the whole thing was around stuff that Fleming would usually "light heartedly" jip Richardson about, but he just turned it all serious.

Richardson approached Fleming, and he initally didn't want to do it until he got told he could insult him.

I think it's funny now. A little worried though that I took it so seriously. They certainly did a pretty good performance anyway.

If I was the camera man and I was in on it, you would have heard me chuckling all the way to Nairobi.

EDIT. I originally wanted to use the word snig*ering, but spelt correctly the word filter made it s******ing.

just for fun...

Edited by James - removed revised footage including the piece of interview before the outburst.

it'll be good to add the laughing/talking about footage to the end (if they show it on free-to-air tv)

----------------------------------------------

Mark had his say on sport 365.

While watching the video, laughs:

"I just tried so hard not to start laughing, I really am, the lips start to go, wasn't easy not laughing"

They also show footage of just after the stunt where the crew are reassured it wasn't real by fleming as they didn't know it was coming.

One crew member:

"That was too real, I was scared for a minute"

Richardson:

"Didn't you know it was coming? That was brillant"

Flem walks off with big smile on his face.

Umm...this is even simpler to do than 'continuing a scene' as it is a new scene.....You could have a fistfight, walk back to the hutch and have your boss tell you 'that was dumb. Go downstairs, patch up and let the camera film you two walking together in the tunnel as merry men or else yer fired' and shoot a 1 minute clip of merry men..................this isnt even as challenging as 'continue the scene'...

Sigh. You haven't seen the footage, and frankly your technical mumbo-jumbo is as far off the mark as a drunk Peter North.
