Fleming Rips into Richardson

[steds]

the performace from Steven was magic true feeling and passion, An Oscar for sure.

Well, if "It's Hard For A Pimp Out Here" can win best original song, he could have at least gone the whole hog and crooned the little bit about Richardson being a boring bat and a crap commentator to make it two oscars.

Is it just me or was the idea of Martin Crowe giving up commentating supposed to make him look less stupid?

You're on a roll.

James,

This is certainly attracting some new members, regardless.

Making Martin Crowe look less stupid could be the fulltime occupation of 13 UN press staff and the job still wouldn't get done.

Maybe Flem and Rig started this to attract publicity for Cricketweb.

Nice guys.

They do have some spare time now that Milosevich has died...

Pity that journalists are such a spineless bunch on the whole and would buy such a HORRIBLE excuse. isnt being a journalist about being the consciousness of society and being satisfied by nothing but the truth?? unfortunately money / political correctness are more important for our journalists. funny funny interview though - made me laugh!!

It was a crack up all right. Chanderpaul should take a leaf out of Flem's book as I'm pretty sure he is the most boring (well, maybe second after riggor) man alive.

Aren't generalisations wonderful?

Met Rigor, have you?

 

[agerk]

No, he may be lovely over dinner, but the comm box is perhaps not the best place for him. Looks great in spandex but.

If this is a hoax can I request Fleming giving Ian Smith and Garvin Larsen crap?

Fleming rules... I demand more Rexona and Fujitsu comfort ads.

Next week, during the toss for the third test in Napier, Fleming will be told that his task is to perform the toss as though the next big earthquake has hit the region. If he really is that good an actor, it could be interesting.

Id like to think it was real. It would be nice to see Flem finally lose his temper.

If it was a hoax, why did Fleming march off into the changingroom like he said he did? Why not stay with Richardson and have a laugh about it? It was, after all, all in fun. And we have all seen Flem act. Its actually painful to watch. Hes really impoved. So has Rigor.

But if it wasnt a hoax, why lie? why not make a comment about how it was an embarrasing situation, and leave it at that?And Flem doesnt lose his temper that easily.

Id like to think it was true. But its probably not.

 

[sirjeremy11]

TBH, I have just watched it about 8 times. I think it may be a pee take. At first look, it's not bad, then you listen to what Fleming is saying, it does sound "improv".

What a dumb thing to do though!

haha, it's going to be on One News at 6.40

Pity people like you NEVER believe anything these journalists who search for the truth say. Funny the 'horrible excuses" are usually the ones that are true.

Flemming said IN A PRESS CONFERENCE that Rigger gave Flemming the opportunity to have a go at him at the end of their interview. The piece was accidentally aired in the West Indies and ended up on the internet.

I don't want to say it but I TOLD YOU SO!!! Especially you Volty you were sucked in big time matey.

Flemming also said " I get on very well with Mark"

So was gullable taken out of the dictionary Volty?

 

[andyc]

There's no way that was a hoax. Anyone who's seen that Advanced Hair Studios ad will know that cricketers can't act that well.

 

[tomdeananna2]

Richardsons a cow

Richardson deserved it even if it was a hoax!!!!!!!!!

(proud fan of fleming)

 

[luckyeddie]

Thanks for your post, that's very interesting.

If it is indeed a hoax, why Is Richardson having "no comment" to the media about it?

Why do I get the impression there's a bit of 'clean-up in aisle three' going on here?
