No it doesn't, but it's the Sun and I wouldn't put it past them to record their own "footage" with some random ginger

I was trying to do a batting line up comparison

I love to be a bit negative mind.
 
Doesn't look great but in their defense, the bloke is attacking them with a bottle at the start

And why does the video just start there?

He is getting attacked with a bottle? What would you do? Just stand there and get glassed?

Nails him, as you say its The Sun, the video starts there for a reason, I'd guess because it shows him in the worse light.

Do people get charged for this? Its not like he just smacked a bystander, know what I mean, its a fight, they would have to charge the lad he smacked too.

Self defence. Happens all over the country daily.

He looks like he is just defending those 2 lads from getting smashed with a bottle

Having watched it again I'd say he is in the right

Lets leave all this shite about "he shouldn't be in that position", we all agree with that, I am talking from a criminal sense

I want to look at it from a positive light but I think hes in trouble there like. Whether or not he gets criminal charges brought against him or not it seems to me that he is doing a lot more than defending himself - chasing after them if anything. I will look at again maybe i'm wrong.

Theres no way he will hold on to the vice captaincy even if no charges are brought. It looks bad.

Off topic slightly but my mates wonder why I can't be arsed with city centre bars and nightclubs. Just full of absolute *****, "hard" men who can't handle their drink.

True like, the last thing I'd ever do is fight someone, this whole "I'm harder than you" macho bullshit, pathetic

He possibly goes a bit far at the end, but the lads getting attacked can't complain they are going after someone with a bottle, and he defends them and ends it.
 
No way he's not going to the ashes because of this. What's the difference between him and Warner/Gerrard just they weren't caught on video.

Neither of their countries banned them and his group had a bottle aimed at them.
 
Gets threatened with a bottle and reacts, if this was Johnny Nomark the perpetrator would be advised to let it go as he was the original aggressor. The only way anything will come of this would be because he is famous and this bloke can make a few quid.

Be horrendous, in reality they would just move Ali to 6 and pick an extra seamer.

Glad to see this is the common view, I think once the sensationalism dies down, this is a fair reflection

Optimistic I'm worried about his international future as a whole. ECB have been strict in the past
