If the ECB were going to do anything significant they wouldn’t have allowed him to be called up to the squad as soon as the verdict was announced
Not necessarily true - the disciplinary committee is an 'independent' body so wasn't involved in selection

It would be interesting to see how some of Beefy's antics would be reported in today's media

Very true. The difference is there would not of been any mobile video footage and the press back in those days mostly drunk in the same bars. Beefy and the main guy from the sun were good mates, he was on the walks for charity with Botham.

Plenty went unreported you would suspect back then.

Yes they subbed it out to an independant group one of which is a lawyer, which can only be the right structure for an organisation like the ecb.

So in effect Strauss and co probably are bound by the Decision of this independant group.
That does not mean that they cannot put something in place similar to anger management for him.thats what I think they will do, along probably with a fine....

It might get more difficult if he did break his code of conduct as far as he contract goes. That would still not be too bad as he could be picked without a contract.

Stokes is a prize asset to England and the teams success on the field.

You would think there is a tricky path for any diciplinary action, compromise maybe we're both parties accept what is decided?

Yes no doubt...it's how the ecb deal with it from here. Bayliss saying today Stokes will make a public apology....I don't think he would of said that unless one is forthcoming soon.

Stokes has lost a 200 grand or something contract and missed the Ashes. Personally I think he will have to undergo some behaviour management led by the ecb and get a fine


A good ashes series to miss, think the guys playing had more of a punishment than stokes
