I dont.

Neither will get charged, and stokes will play Ashes. Ecb and a sympathetic police will massage a suitable outcome for the sake of national sporting success. Sad but true.

"a sympathetic police"?  Really?  If Stokes were Joepublic, I doubt he would even be under investigation - man wields bottle, man gets smashed, end of.  The ECB treatment of him is so far removed from what any normal person would see.

Stokes needs you on his legal team.

Not sure who you work for but not a chance my current (or any of my previous for that matter) bosses would sack me because of a fight on a night out....

Work is Mon-Fri, whatever you do at the weekend is up to you unless you are, on that night out, directly representing your company.

If it gets out in the press who your employers are then they are well within their right to dismiss you for bringing the companies name into disrepute

When you're an international sports star, pretty much everything you do represents your employer.

So if someone comes at you with a bottle you’re going to say “jolly-ho I’m off now”?

I’ve seen a friend nearly die after being smashed on the head with a bottle, you think that just because Stokes happens to be good at cricket, he should be able to laugh off someone trying to seriously injure him?

Having watched the video again, if there is a bottle involved, it gets dropped in the first few seconds. It's at this point that a sober Ben Stokes might have thought better of it.

Employment wise, it probably reflects badly on you as a person if a video emerges of you fighting on a night out. Even if you are Joe Public.

Yes, you run away. Sorry if that doesn't match up to the brain dead manly/macho do him before he does you thinking. Not like he was pinned in the corner with no way out.

Funny world we live in.


Stokes is being vilified for not running away and standing up for himself.


Dan bilzerian ran away from a man shooting at a crowd from a vantage point, and he's being vilified for not helping and shooting back.


Not sure anyone can win either way

To be fair Dan Blitz claims hes the best of the best, he may have gone back later on but his initial reaction was to film it for instagram.

I dont blame him I'd be the first away from it all but i dont claim to be what he says he is.

But yes noone will win because there's a expectation of perfection.
