When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.
Re: The Cricket Thread
Be interesting to see what it is, i would guess drunk & disorderly? Either way, I can't imagine anything but a serious police charge will keep him away from the Ashes team. The ECB would rather just ride a couple weeks bad press. Alex Hales might have lost his place though.Barlow Boy wrote:Ben Stokes in a bit of bother by the looks of it....

Re: The Cricket Thread
From the comments made by the SKY reporter, it seems they have been involved in a fight, mentioned Stokes has injured his hand too (all speculation, of course, nothing official).Austin91 wrote:Be interesting to see what it is, i would guess drunk & disorderly?

Re: The Cricket Thread
Reports coming out of the fake news department. Stokes fights with a guy named Sniffer over Brexit.
Re: The Cricket Thread
Seems he sent someone to hospital with facial injuries, with a charge of ABH pending. Could have been a lot worse in the scheme of things but certainly not great for Stokes bad boy reputation.
On a side note - I can see how he'd end up punching someone in Mbargos. Full off w*nker Bristol Rugby lads (when i lived there anyway)

I'm heading down Bristol way for a week on Friday, I'll make a mental note not to visit that place

Re: The Cricket Thread
Can't say I've ever been in there but as it's in the foothills of Clifton I can imagine exactly who you're talking about - the people I went to school with. And I whole-heartedly concur with your description of them.Austin91 wrote:On a side note - I can see how he'd end up punching someone in Mbargos.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Mbargos!
Maybe he took offence at a Bouncer.
Bouncer: 'Have you got any offensive weapons?'
Stokes: No.
Bouncer: 'Here, you better have one of these then'.

I once played against Don Revie.

Re: The Cricket Thread
The behaviour of a arrogant man thinks he's above the law but he's not. Will he miss the Ashes ? Well ABH carries a custodial sentence & if the judge decides to make an example of him then he will do time. The ECB should stand up & be counted here & strip him of his vice captaincy for ungentlely behaviour.
