He was trying to control his laughter. So controlling laughter = looks like crying. Fleming was superb and oscar winning performance from both. 4659@desicritics.org Mon, 13 Mar 2006 03:13:30 EST http://desicritics.org/2006/03/12/051241.php#comment-4658 Okay it was indeed a hoax. Fleming and Richardson are shown laughing with each other on New Zealand TV after the footage. They sure fooled us! 4658@desicritics.org Mon, 13 Mar 2006 03:02:00 EST http://desicritics.org/2006/03/12/051241.php#comment-4656 Pratyush - Yes, it is the irrelevance of the so called spoof that strikes you and makes you think that it wasn't spoof after all. For example, if Stephen was seen abusing Martin Crowe, Richard Hadlee or one of the heavyweights in his team like Bond or Vettori, people would sit up and a spoof makes sense. But Richardson, a player already forgotten by most. Hmmm. Seems to be a minor spat between the 2 covered up by someone or the other. 4656@desicritics.org Mon, 13 Mar 2006 02:19:43 EST http://desicritics.org/2006/03/12/051241.php#comment-4649 It looks totally real to me. I strongly feel the Sky team got fired from Fleming for their negligence which meant the clip was leaked and made up a story to cover it up. 4649@desicritics.org Mon, 13 Mar 2006 01:01:59 EST http://desicritics.org/2006/03/12/051241.php#comment-4646 Weird spoof if that. 4646@desicritics.org Mon, 13 Mar 2006 00:35:05 EST http://desicritics.org/2006/03/12/051241.php#comment-4644 The url - http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=4&ObjectID=10372382 4644@desicritics.org Sun, 12 Mar 2006 23:54:06 EST http://desicritics.org/2006/03/12/051241.php#comment-4643 Yeah Vivek. It can be viewed <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=4&ObjectID=10372382">here.</a> 4643@desicritics.org Sun, 12 Mar 2006 23:53:13 EST http://desicritics.org/2006/03/12/051241.php#comment-4642 Pratyush: Is there a URL where Sky calling it a spoof can be read or viewed? You are right, it didnt seem a spoof to me. 4642@desicritics.org Sun, 12 Mar 2006 23:49:29 EST http://desicritics.org/2006/03/12/051241.php#comment-4639 Sky sports have now called the sroty a <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=4&ObjectID=10372382">spoof.</a> I doesn't look like a spoof to me! 4639@desicritics.org Sun, 12 Mar 2006 22:43:23 EST http://desicritics.org/2006/03/12/051241.php#comment-4599 Now we all know who the real kiwi 'idiot' really is. Isint this something the match refree should look into. Maybe Stephens bad batting is getting to him 4599@desicritics.org Sun, 12 Mar 2006 16:52:09 EST
