Drinking your body weight in Carlton Draft on Boxing Day does ease the pain somewhat.

I flew out for the MCG and SCG tests last time out. Not going to lie, it puts a bit of a dampener on the trip when you're 3-0 down before leaving.

Banned indefinitely.

There was some "encouragement" to help out.
Not all financial inducements either...ahem ahem.

There's a Snapchat video doing the rounds of Stokes drunkenly mocking Harvey Price. Not sure how recent it is, i.e. whether it was from Monday night, or happened a while back and had been released now to discredit him further.

Look, we all know the 2 scrotes deserved it, but that's completely irrelevant, unfortunately we're not setting the law of the land.
Like it or loathe it, he had the opportunity to stop more than once and kept piling in, he hasn't got a chance the way things are now.

The key question here is what finally caused Stokes to launch at the two blokes and why did he carry on so long?
If the ECB think they need to act (I'm certain they've spoken with Stokes and Hales) against Stokes they'd have done so by now.

Really? That makes it a little more interesting. The types who get upset about this kind of thing (who had never heard of him before) will struggle with this.

I'd say Stokes has done a good thing here.
Aesthetically yes, for his career, no....

The reports I've read state that Stokes and Hales heard 2 gay guys getting homophobic abuse from a couple of blokes so Stokes told them to cut it out. One of the blokes then goes after Stokes with a bottle so he defends himself.
He might have gone a little over the top but I'm pretty sure those 2 blokes will think twice about abusing people and then trying to attack someone with a bottle.
I'd say Stokes has done a good thing here.

Can you imagine having known David Warner since you were 12?
I'd have topped myself long before now

Agree, vice captain of England of England cricket team should have an innate ability to sniff out potential trouble and stay out of it.
Bit daft giving the job to a ginger then wasn't it?

Khawaja and Warner have known each other since they were boys as they grew up in the same (poor) suburb. Believe they used to open the bowling in u12 cricket

It's disgraceful that a devout Muslim should have to share a dressing room with drunken brawlers (Stokes)
Yes, rather like Usman Khawaja, having to share a dressing room with David Warner.
