I can't believe I ate the whole thing
James, am I right in thinking that's not the same thing that will be shown on Thursday? I wonder if they'll put it on the net after it's shown then...

Mate all I am saying is that they would have needed to find out about it before the start of play, because both were shot before play (it is obvious from the light)
The video hadn't been posted before the start of play, so if it was real then they would have only been able to shoot the cover up at the end of the day which they clearly didn't (as you can tell from the light)

Only if they realised at the time that it was going to be 'leaked'. That didn't happen for some time, I believe (can someone sort out a time line of when it was filmed, when it was 'found' and when all hell seemed to break loose?), and of course the weather and light changes pretty quickly at the end of a day's play.C_C said:
The other obvious thing to do would have been to delete it (if not, sack the cameraman, sound man, producer, dolly grip, best boy, best sheep, best shepherd etc).
The trouble with conspiracy theories is that they can become too complicated - too many people have to be involved for it to be worth while, and this one would be no exception. No, this was a spoof - and we all got suckered. Well played Sky NZ (or whoever it was), well played Fleming, well played Richardson.

I think the joke's on many of us, actually, not just Voltman.dantheman said:No I have, but I at least find out the full story before I make my mind up,
Volty actually called me gullible for believing the truth...The joke is on him now.
Actually, this is what you said...
So I think we can also assume that the joke's on you too.dantheman said:
Anyway, welcome to Cricket Web. Feel free to partake in discussions on other subjects - we've got a couple more threads.

And Mr Volt and various others kept thinking it was real. I never claimed at any stage it was real not like others were claiming anyways, I said it COULD have been real, because it did look very very believeable, but I got my answer from Radio sport and I would like to think they know something about sport and things in sport.
I never actually believed it was real.

What are you talking about? Lucky Eddie just proved that you thought exactly that.dantheman said:
As for "finding out the full story", all you did was swallow corporate PR. You never questioned what you were told at all, so how can you have found out the whole story?
Most people here who believed it was real did so based upon appearances, granted, but no-one had an intractible stance, except for C_C. I'm certainly man enough to admit I was fooled.

You just keep reeling off these denials, but irrespective of what you said first, I guess you must have been in sufficient doubt as to actually post that 'It may be true' note a little later.dantheman said:
It doesn't really matter, you know - are you don't have to be THAT afraid to be wrong that you have to 'hedge your bets'. We don't score points, and we certainly wouldn't score negative points on the grounds of insecurity.
(well, we might do in your case)

If it makes me more of man, and helps me recover from some personal demons, I was fooled good.mundaneyogi said:

I was definately fooled. I thought Flemo was having a go at him for what he's being saying about the team, but there you go, a hoax

Gee, I hope that Cricketproducer guy wasn't Martin Crowe...
Martin, you were a great batsman! But seriously, commentator?
He went very quiet after that.sirjeremy11 said:
