Smiley Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Is that Alex Hales in white trainers kicking the guy in the head on the floor? If so, how did he get away with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maaarsh Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Lots of highly publicised accusations of homophobia during the trial, now afterwards this - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/aug/14/gay-couple-say-ben-stokes-did-not-deserve-to-face-trial Bit weird they weren't called, but hey ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted August 14, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2018 but did the guys run at him with a broken road sign and bottles - FIRST? I think this was the issue. I think it's reported that the judge had directed the jury that without a timeline of who did and said what and when, then there could be doubt thrown on both sides' testimonies.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 16, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2018 Absolutely outrageous decision Just watch the video ffs Imagine if that was lads at the match haha His defence team were critical of the media for showing a part of the video. Reckoned the full video would have shed a different light. Was surprised myself by the outcome, but, thankfully that's why we have courts and judges etc. Maybe it also helps being able to afford top lawyers, who knows.

MalcolmW Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Is that Alex Hales in white trainers kicking the guy in the head on the floor? If so, how did he get away with that? Hales wasn't charged. Hale was, but the judge ruled he had no case to answer after the prosecution case. CPS cock-up? Maybe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curran deserved to stay. Argument was to drop Rashid as a spinner probably wouldn't be required at Trent bridge, of Buttler who hadn't done much.

Argument was to drop Rashid as a spinner probably wouldn't be required at Trent bridge, of Buttler who hadn't done much. Stokes and Curran both played the first Test match, and it was Curran who won the game for England - very poor to drop him 10 days later (after another decent performance inbetween) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 19, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2018 Agreed. I'll throw in a hand grenade too: given stokes is an all rounder, then if looking to replace like for like then broad goes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
