No rhyme nor reason whatsoever! Just hope and pray that he gets to Aus.
Plus I have just had a feeling in my water  :D

The less we hear about it, and the lack of people coming forward may just indicate that they will have not charge him through lack of a case!
Plus there will be pressure on the Police too!
And I am an optimist beyond logic sometimes!  ;)

I like the optimism! I wish I could share it however this is england cricket!

Agree with what you’re saying about Overton though!

I have it on good authority from a good friend of mine who works for a certain police force,that Stokes is NOT, I repeat NOT, going to be charged.
This will be announced on Monday or Tuesday apparantly.

Awaiting an announcement to see if petes witchcraft waterworks prediction comes true

For those not old enough perhaps a nod to the past when we had Botham at his peak-and how important Stokes is to the side

I can't proclaim to know anything for certain, but I got a message late Saturday night from someone close to Durham CCC saying he is waiting to fly out this week. Could well be rubbish as I said but I really hope not.

Any investigation can only go on for so long before a decision has to be made in Stokes s case  maybe  the length of time it  has gone on  already the more  unlikely  it is there's a case  to answer.

Having just watched Cameron Bancroft reach 228no at lunch 2nd day vs s.a i reckon the oz selectors need to find a spot for him in the test side . He has also come off 78no and 80 odd vs nsw (full test bowling attack) and 206no at the end of the county season too . He looked the best young opener in oz for a couple years but went a bit quiet and others rose above him in the pecking order , but he has not only regained consistent form, but he has added greater scoring proficiency to his excellent physical and mental stamina/ability to bat long periods .
Whether he ousts Wade/Nevill/Carey for the gloveman role , ousts Maxwell/Cartwright/Lehmann/Marsh for the no6 role , or ousts Renshaw for an opening spot (my preferred option) is up to the selectors .... but he has knocked the door down and demands a spot .

I think Renshaw has done a decent job opening up in some tough conditions to start your career, India away against spin must have been pretty alien. Surely either of those other two roles you mention is where Bancroft gets into the side, no one has nailed down the 6 or 7 role for Aus despite plenty of chances.

But who am I to tell you how to pick your team. Id drop Starc and Cummins for Bollinger and Hilfenhaus aswell and get Lyon out for Jason Krezja. Thats what we need - an english mole on the Aussie selection committee!

I agree I think Renshaw has done a good job and compliments Warner at the top of order well.

Is Bancroft a genuine wicket keeper or is he more in the Dravid mould of keepers?

If a proper keeper surely he's got to come to instead of Wade and Nevill who aren't in great form.

Bancroft has hardly ever kept in 1st class, he might bat 6, but he’ll never keep.

I like Renshaw , he's done a decent job at the start of his test career , but he is not in form . Bancroft needs to come into the side somewhere .....Bancroft , Maxwell , Nevill looks better atm then Renshaw , Bancroft , Nevill , or Renshaw , Maxwell , Nevill , in the 3 available positions.
Sometimes you have to make tough calls....and Renshaw will be back , he is only 21 afterall .
But id be pretty happy with Bancroft keeping and Renshaw staying in the side , but Bancroft keeping is quite unlikely .... but if its the only way the selectors are willing to pick him , then so be it .
