Sounds like the defence have landed Alex Hales in the doodoo, basically claiming that injuries to the guy that fractured his eyesocket were likely due to Hales kicking him

Hales will have to take it on the chin. He lucky he has not been there with Stokes for the last week.

The two main people this event evolved around not called by defence or prosecution. I find that odd.

Means nothing really.. the charge is affray so its all about if the threat existed to a bystander....

Not strictly true, doesn’t have to have been a direct threat to a bystander, basically all the jury have to believe is that:

1) there was unlawful violence towards another (clearly was)
2) any reasonable person would have feared for their safety if they witnessed what was occurring - that’s the tough one

im sceptical as to why neither defence or prosecution brought in the gay couple who seem to be central to it. surely if their version of events backed up either side they would have used it to their advantage?

Only he knows whether he started (and won) the fight or not, but the fact that they brought bottles into it gives him a chance of a defence.

So there you go. Don't make judgements until you know all the information. And that's clearly not been reported to the general public.

Wouldn't have even gone to trial if he wasn't famous. Glad we can get on with the cricket now.

What a complete and utter waste of time and money.. There has been a verdict given and the ECB or a committee acting on their behalf should adhere to it.. Stokes and his family has been.through enough and I'm sure he has learnt from his actions.

I like a few others have been amazed with what Hales got away with but the CPS saw no reason to prosecute him..

I would rather the ECB used this money and put it into amateur cricket where it would be better used..

Poor again from the ECB....

This is somewhat different - it's the Cricket Disciplinary Committee and Hales and Stokes are charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

Given there is footage of the alleged affray all over the web, and it went to trial, I'm fairly sure that's going to be a little more difficult to get out of...
