Stokes Arrested

[S.Kennedy]

Burgey, we invented your judicial system. Common law. Of course it is the same.

 

[Burgey]

It’s because they’re common law systems that they evolve differently, knucklehead. Various governments will alter common law tests by statute as well. That’s why it’s prudent to ask.

It is English common law. You possess our judicial system. Our Westminster system of Parliamentary government. Our language. And Queen as head of your state.

And the Ashes. Don’t forget the Ashes.

We invented cricket also.

Yeah, a lot of good that's done us.

There is nothing very Australian about Australia really, except for that weird ''football'' sport where everyone is in tank tops.

When this imbroglio started, was it you saying the affray was just another night out in England, or was that someone else?

What's she been doing since that song Torn?

Good reference Ed

Still stand by it, pertaining to a regular night in Newcastle.

Except without the ''openly'' gay fellas. Nobody would be so openly gay in Newcastle.

 

[S.Kennedy]

The club looks like a right old grot hole.

You'd think he could afford a better club with his IPL cash?

This might be from the night in question,

Seems pretty ridiculous that it's taken so long for this thing to get to trial

Their account is confused. It mentions them ''dancing together'' and leaving the club together, but omits the fact that Stokes/Hales had left around 1230 and tried (unsuccessfully) to gain readmission soon after 2.

Wonder what the wicket's like at Wormwood Scrubs?

Honestly, if convicted and the homophobic stuff is true then a career ender wouldn't be in any way unfair.

If he does go down for this, who are the other examples of professional cricketers who have done time mid-career?

 

[S.Kennedy]

Even if he just receives something light like a suspended sentece, CA banned the sandpaper cheats for a year but this is a different level together - Stokes has already missed the Ashes.

Hong Kong Blitz beckons.

I don't know about that. As you say, he's already missed the ashes. And did he miss the NZ series too? I reckon that he'll be back this summer unless he's inside.
