How long do hoaxes hang around for?
I remember when the following video first made it onto the news the day after the incident occurred. Everyone was going crazy and baying for Stephen Fleming's blood. Mark Richardson and The Cricket Company quickly admitted it was a hoax and released the full video to prove it. It was a stunt prepared for the show that week and was never meant to be released when it was.
The news never showed the rest of the video as far as I know. All die-hard cricket fans would have found out that it was a joke but those that just saw the initial video on the news and judged Stephen Fleming off that probably still don't know the truth.
The link to this video on Youtube got emailed to me yesterday by someone who knows that I love Stephen Fleming. He didn't know it was a joke. It amuses me that 6 months on the video is still making the rounds. Poor Stephen Fleming, he probably regrets agreeing to the joke more than he regrets smoking dope in South Africa all those years ago!
