Rugby players in the same pub as cricket players.

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[MagicRat]

In the modern era professional athletes shouldn’t be out late and drinking full stop, whether a games finished or not.
It’s a short career, show it some respect

I’ve said this loads of times but most won’t agree, I can maybe say it’s acceptable in the off season but while the season is live I don’t think it’s acceptable

There isn’t an “off season”

I don't mind it as everyone should be able to wind down after working hard, but not to the point where it makes headlines

That’ll be the bare minimum that happens tbf. Stokes will probably resign.

Vacant Director of Cricket role for county side lacking a fighting spirit.

Yep setting a drinking culture

 

[The Breen Machine]

The irony being that if Stokes does lose the captaincy, his likely replacement is a lad who got a clip in a nightclub during a winter tour drinking session
