Ben Stokes

Just seen the footage of the incident.if that was Rooney or any top footballer I think the media would be a bit different!!

Now that the video is out there then I think their reaction will change (assuming it is him of course).

Edit - hadn't watched it with sound and didn't realise someone says 'that's enough Stokesy'

Stokes is getting absolutely hammered? It's on the front page on the paper too. Not sure what else you want.

Vice captain,selection,ex players and media saying he should go in a bat cave and only drink in the team hotel and so on.....

Before seeing any video footage I thought it was just another case of a professional sportsman getting aggravated by someone and then they end up hitting them. But after watching that video he hasn't got a leg to stand on. He wasn't the person being attacked, he continued to hit them as they retreated, he got asked to stop even with force and he wouldn't. And it must be said he's got a shocking punch!!

But he should still play for England, if he was working at Tesco or anywhere else in civvie street he wouldn't be refused to work. And I can't see why it would be any different for a sports player. If the police refuse for him to leave the country fair enough.

Throws punches like a turd a

I'm sorry but he shouldn't still play for England,he's meant to be a role model and completely overstepped the mark not for the first time either.

So because his job puts him in the public eye, he should now lose his job. His job should not be affected until he is proven guilty by a court. I understand he's a role model, but they shouldn't have more punishment than a normal person.

Wouldn't even pretend to be an expert here, but surely he is going down ?

The first scuffle i get, split it up and go separate ways and its a slap on the wrist. But its the second phase where he is clearly the aggressor and smacks the peace maker?

word his one of the fellas he is taking issue with was using or threatening someone with a bottle. He is a big unit, and fair play he shouldn't be doing it, but Christ if you are looking to these people as role models you are sadly lacking some serious guidance in your life.

I hope he learns from it and gets down to what he does best, and that is play some of the most exceptional cricket this country has ever seen.

I don't believe representing his country is his job,playing for his county is.
Acting like a thug like he did you should lose that privilege

Depends who you work for. I would have been out like a shot if I had been found guilty of assault. Anything that brought the company name into disrepute was classed as gross misconduct, and I saw more than one person lose their job because of this. Unless that video is not telling the whole story, he will have a big job proving his innocence.

if he was very very good at another job {which he must be to play at that level } and his employers sack him ..he would be snapped up by a competitor.
btw . cricket has central contracts so England is his job....and cricket rules would prevent him from now representing India or Australia etc..

I'm in the RAF if i was caught on camera doing that I would be in a lot of trouble.

Embarrissing for him. Not the fact he's been caught fighting but more that he is so pissed he nearly falls over everytime he throws a punch. The on floor wrestling at the start is even worse. If the other guy was half sober Stokes would have got battered.

I bet his England team mates are going to have a field day taking the piss out of him.

"Stokes - enough, Stokes - enough".
