Fleming rips into Richardson!!

[RoboRocks]

Don't be so pathetic. Why would Fleming lose captaincy for that. Why should they be ashamed of themselves. Get a sense of humor. Its not intended for poms anyway, its for our TV program.

I didn't find it funny.

Because you don't understand it. You don't know what our media was like and can;t of seen much of Richardson bat.

Give him an Oscar LMAO

I've seen a few forums where this has caused panic.
They didn't find it humorus when they found out it was a hoax

I've just watched it. And yeah, you can see these guys laughing. The end is great! Richardson now does a Fleming to another newsreporter. :laugh

 

[RoboRocks]

The reporter looked surprised

 

[irottev]

Why did people panic? Did they think Richardson was going to have to retire from commentary from being mentally scared.

 

[RoboRocks]

No they were worried about what would happen to Fleming.
Its a relive that its only for it for a cricket show

I agree, it was absolutely brilliant! Especially how Richardson's face gradually changed emotion, quality acting.

Cricket Company is a good show. It was better last year without Richardson. They had more international players on there and instead of players slogging the ball they answered questions which I thought was cooler.

 

[barmyarmy]

Yay, I even got the year on the recording!
It's a good show and nice to see SA/Aus highlights. How long's it been running for cos I don't remember seeing it on when I lived there?

 

[irottev]

4 years mabee? Mabee longer, not sure.

I finally got to see the footage of this last night. It does come across as very real, even if it was a hoax.
