Cook gone. 2-32

Why? Innocent until proven guilty

Didn’t seem to effect him at all

Stokes didn’t look innocent on the video footage when it first surfaced and now the stories are coming out in court it’s confirming he is a downright thug.

Alan_Noonan_10 · August 11, 2018, 11:06am

Wasn’t drunk. 3 plus pints then a heap of vodkas, and doesn’t remember a lot of the night. Yeah…right!

Drunk or not, he could have killed that guy, there are no excuses.

Ridiculous that a bunch of guys lose 12 months of their career for rubbing a ball with a bit of sandpaper, and this guy was caught on camera being a straight up thug.

Langers4 · August 11, 2018, 11:42am

England doing it easy.

efc1robbo · August 11, 2018, 11:46am

Surely he is allowed to play until the trial actually starts though?

Some fine displays of chinless bed-wettery in the stands with the full MCC regalia of red and gold blazer, tie AND cap. With some fine squadron-leader tashes being rocked as well.

One clown had a beautiful boater on instead of the cap…no doubt with his furled brolly and rolled-up copy of The Times.

Poms 6-357

Woakes 120*, S Curran 22*, Bairstow 93

Not saying he shouldn’t have been allowed to play given the time taken for the matter to reach court. In saying that I don’t think it would have been the right to allow him to play in the Ashes. As a cricket fan the series clearly missed him but it was so soon after the incident that it would have been wrong to select him. I also wonder if he would have received a visa.

efc1robbo · August 12, 2018, 1:13am

For mine he should of played. Not that it would of made a big difference to the overall result though

Except Stokes missed nearly six months including the Ashes - Keep on making it up.

DonMania · August 14, 2018, 6:35am

India going full Essington. What’s new.

redbull · August 14, 2018, 6:40am

Good to see Steve Smith back to where he belongs at the top of the test batting rankings!

paddy29 · August 14, 2018, 1:32pm

So Ben Stokes gets off - not guilty
Have to say I’m quite surprised

Shahid_Afridi · August 14, 2018, 7:50pm

Yeah, me too. The video looked quite damning but the jury must have found that he was put in a position where it was necessary to use such force.

IceTemple · August 14, 2018, 10:50pm

I’m not, celebrity, claims of self-defence (even though went on the attack) and standing up to bullies against LGBT persons. Potent mix to see him get off.

3rd test. Eng V India
India batting 2/69 23 over Kohli just in to bat

efc1robbo · August 18, 2018, 12:03pm

Woakes get pujara before lunch

Shahid_Afridi · August 19, 2018, 4:32am

Miandad hasn’t aged a bit!
