According to the guardian, these two guys being abused who were apparently there have still not come forward

Plot Twist: The two guys are Stokes and Hales.

Good job he cashed in with the IPL last season. Get the feeling he's off to the Job Centre in a few weeks.

Might cash in with a BBL deal too - that could be a massive distraction if he doesn't go to the ashes but ends up at the BBL. Suspect ECB won't allow him to

Can't see how they can stop him unless they ban him from all cricket under icc

sacking him then not issuing an NOC would be restriction of trade so can't go that avenue

Would be distracting if he smashes a hundred or 2 and we are struggling

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Possibility then they may keep him on central contract but ban him for 6 months meaning he couldn't play in BBL...
If they cancel his central contract then I would expect him in BBL, IPL etc...
Just hope the decisions are made quickly by everyone involved and we can get back to cricket :)

Only way they can stop him playing cricket is if he is on central contract...

ICC can't do anything unless it contravenes their rules and fighting back against someone who comes at you with a bottle (currently) isn't in their rules.  :) :)

Can’t see ecb just banning him

They will sack if charged and convicted as doubts will be jail time more like probation and community service

The term ‘sack’ is a bit confusing.they could ban him and withdraw his central contract.
There is absolutely no way Durham could afford his salary so should the ecb cancel his contract that throws up another question-which county would pay him...

Yes true it could..and what a massive regret that would be for a player in his prime
Call me old fashioned but nothing beats representing your country, 2020 is not test cricket

I still believe modern players see test caps as the ones they want more than anything
Perhaps I am out of date.

The most famous players from past years (even from when T20 and ODI's were around) are Test players.
In my eyes Stokes could be one of the best all-rounders ever, as he was starting to look better and better with experience.
But at this rate, he may still be famous but for the wrong reasons!!

No not out of date thinking
Many  players  do treasure test caps but big money talks many have given up there test careers to play T20 more and  more each year are seen to be travelling around the world doing so and not all are from poorer paid test playing countries or at the end of there  test careers.

The brewery as withdrawn its  TV add showing Cook and Stokes having an after the cricket match pint in the pub the one called   its a Knockout.

I think it was called "The knockabout"

The ones where it said Knockout were photoshopped after the event!  :D

Tour prep is going well...

ECB announce that @jbairstow21, @JakeBall & @Liam628 have been fined for unprofessional conduct. Unrelated to Stokes/Hales investigation
