Wait and see how it all boils down. Sounds like a young rugby boy was amongst it and on the piss with his team as well. Both cricket and rugby are very boozy sports to be involved in as players. The cricket team bowled barely 20 overs in 2 days. The rugby team he was in had just won. Probably fuck all in this tbfTo be honest that isn't my general take on him.
Regardless it's a fucking shocking oversight on his behalf.........
I think if Key ignores this latest episode he's done, so will protect himself.Stokes is now toast sadly...great player on his day but also terninally arrogant and stupid. As soon as he won one match his first thought was getting pissed.
Ultimately, having a piss-up and a scrap was more important to him than captaining his country.
No. Don’t think Sam has done enough to merit a Test recall, last one 2021, let alone Captaincy.The way different players have been disciplined is crazy and so inconsistent.
How about Sam Curran? Not sure that’d go down well with some posters on here.
Key appointed North because of his relationship with Stokes at Durham, which it was hoped would stabilise matters, so it’s certainly an early test for them all.I think if Key ignores this latest episode he's done, so will protect himself.

He’s a bowling all rounder though, which is something else England will need once Stokes goes.No. Don’t think Sam has done enough to merit a Test recall, last one 2021, let alone Captaincy.
The game is reeling from the Ashes, the brevity of this weekend, and now this incident. They need to get through it and hope that Stokes can show enough maturity to see them through to the end of next summer. At the same time, they need to start planning a genuine successor, or it will all fall on Root.
Reading that the egg chaser took a swing at Stokes, missed and connected with the ECB heavy that was accompanying the players. Now; even if Stokes is innocent, why put himself in these sorts of situations/locations? He must realise he's a potential target for some oik wanting to make a name for himself, given Stokes' previous indiscretions. If you want to get pissed, do it in private.Wait and see how it all boils down. Sounds like a young rugby boy was amongst it and on the piss with his team as well.

If this incident means both stokes and “baz” leave I’d be absolutely delighted.
Never felt more disconnected from an England side. They are arrogant and ultimately achieved nothing. They forced Anderson out and the day 1 declaration against Australia just about sums them up.
Get flintoff in as coach with Gough as head selector and let’s get some likeable characters involved again
By the sounds of it Stokes is finishing with EnglandMe too
Stokes is a joke and bazball should all be sacked and moved on
But we all know what's going to happen NOTHING ? not even a change of captain
By the sounds of it Stokes is finishing with England
Big money ipl callingBy the sounds of it Stokes is finishing with England
Not sure Freddie’s the man…….If this incident means both stokes and “baz” leave I’d be absolutely delighted.

It was in some club, not the hotel. What’s a bit weird is that the ECB had a minder out with them. Surely they were always going to tell the ECB that they’d broken curfew?Who Reckons Stokes will resign and quit test cricket? Or are the ECB going to be so soft like a two match ban take his captaincy of him?
I think what happened is they were having drinks in the hotel and some people who drink to much just think doing something when pissed up is a good idea when sober they’ll think its totally stupid!
Unless there's more to it he wouldn't get a massive ban for just breaking a curfew so feels an unlikely ploy. He was pretty spikey in all his press conferences last week so he may just be done.It was in some club, not the hotel. What’s a bit weird is that the ECB had a minder out with them. Surely they were always going to tell the ECB that they’d broken curfew?
Rumours are circulating that he’s resigning and quitting cricket, but maybe that’s a ploy to reduce any ban the ECB may give.
Why? He is now sober and has done brilliant work with that bbc programme helping those kids etc.Not sure Freddie’s the man…….

Should have been involved with Lancashire to get more experience, reckon the England job is to big for him…..Why? He is now sober and has done brilliant work with that bbc programme helping those kids etc.
He has started coaching and has experience with England lions and with various franchises. I think he is exactly what we need
