Cricket Is The new Football

yep. That doesn't say whether they're going or not.
I suspect they'll wait and see what happens with the police over the next few days.

If Stokes gets charged then he almost certainly won't go - the wheels of justice won't move that quickly, but he'd be away until mid April with England and the distraction of him going at some stage won't help the team or him.

16/1 on Australia to win the series 5-0 doesn't look too bad (that may have shortened somewhat now that Stokes in unavailable for selection until further notice)

Yep - now 9/1 for Australia to win the series 5-0

Aussies batting is pants, easy 3-1 win for England with or without Stokes

16/1 for England to win the series 3-1

Stepping in to stop homophobic abuse. Lets hope he gets a medal.

Cant help thinking being on the lash at 2am when you're in the public eye is not the best idea though. Aint he been warned a few times about his lifestyle choices?

Hes not that young at 26 so should know better. And he was, in effect, on a work trip.

When I was that age, my employer sent me abroad loads of times. So yeh we went out on the beer whenever we could in places like Prague, Budapest, Rome etc. BUT, well aware that if I ever got into a fight and got arrested or something, I'd probably be sacked because I was, in effect, still working for them.
