Hales and Stokes

Bit worrying that ECB statement

In terms of Stokes mental health, been stupid but has my support. Haway Strauss don't ditch him

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

Bloody hell ..... that's serious conspiracy theory stuff.

The video is pukka .... and it shows Stokes 'up fer it' and those three other lads look like they're not, and bloody hell but that a good right cross, but what it doesn't do is show what sparked it all off in the first place.

Wouldn't be surprised after that to see a conviction.

What happens to Stokes I don't know, he could be removed from the squad. Someone will undoubtedly sit him down in front of camera at sometime to ask him questions, he'll probably apologise but I don't know if it'll be enough. - and that will happen I'd guess after the court case if that is what happens.

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.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion .... the video has obviously been taken on someone's phone .... they most likely wouldn't start filming until after they knew something was happening so the losing the beginning was almost bound to happen.

The lads should be allowed to go out and relax. Sadly there are always idiots who think they will be able to take them on. Years ago (here I go again) footballers and cricketers could go out on the lash and the journalist joined them. Everyone was off-duty and they enjoyed themselves. Cannot do that now. He should not be hung out by the England set-up - Botham would have missed a few more games...

I'm not copying them all there are loads

Said 2 gay lads were getting homophobic abused and attacked and he stepped in

Looking for the 2 lads to back him up

I'm telling you if they find them and that's true, he will get a lot of praise

Good on him

Yeah spotted there were 5. Obviously Morgan will have some friends in some high places in the media and is a big cricket fan. No doubt he will be on Stokes side
 
f***ing hell, just watched it :lol:

Looked like the other lads were done but he made sure he finished it like.

Well and truly lost his shit.

They'll have to find those lads like

But you know what it's like these days, inequality and hate crimes are big topics, he will get a shit load of support
 
Needs a bit boxing training IMO.

Canny round house dig in the finish but hopelessly off balance earlier, could have had shoeing whilst on the deck, 6/10.

Rest up, get that hand sorted and get down under. He'll be badly needed as we only have about 8 decent players out of 16.

He'd be a slightly idiotic hero if true
 
Stokes had to get his side out as the tide was turning, clearly picked Morgan

Not a bad shout as he has so many followers
