Fleming vs Richardson "a spoof"

Sky TV have come forward and admitted that the Stephen Fleming verbal volley at Mark Richardson (see below) was a spoof. Allegedly Sky TV don't know how on earth the video got released on the internet to give them all this free publicity.

Spoof?!? I've seen Stephen Fleming act (Rexona, Air conditoning). That footage is real.

A spoof! There's less chance of that being true than Walter hadlee opening the bowling at The Basin Reserve on Friday. Since when did Cricket Company do spoofs? Especially spoofs on day 4 of Test match that hangs in the balance. Rigor asked some very aggressive questions (which were broadcast) and Fleming called him on it. If that's what the skipper thinks then he is entitled to that view - it'd be interesting to hear Richardson's reply (he doesn't get one in the video as he is dumbstruck)...

Even if it is a spoof, the word on the street is that not all the players are enamoured with Richie's commentary efforts - they may be mates for now but there is an undercurrent. This made it much easier for Fleming to come across as genuine...
