Believe what you want to believe but the court transcripts reveal that the 'victims' were homophobic creeps who were abusing a couple of gay guys. But you know that, and you just want to keep attacking Stokes - along with Burgey.
I love that they went with such a ridiculous story to protect Stokes' image, and that some people believed it

Chris Broad -Stuart's father- was once so incensed with an lbw decision given against him he refused to go. Gooch at the other end had to tell him he had no choice but to go.
If I may slip into pedant mode, it was for caught behind in the 2nd innings of the first test in Pakistan during the infamous 1987/88 tour.

More interestingly, Broad Snr got himself into further trouble a few months later during the Bicentennial Test in Australia, deciding to smash his stumps after being dismissed. I have no idea why he was so unhappy, given that the dismissal inself was not at all controversial (clean bowled by Steve Waugh) and he had made a large hundred before being dismissed.

Nah. He chopped it on. Not cleaned bowled. He was annoyed at himself.

You can see it on YouTube (at about 5:30) - he doesn't get his bat/glove out of the way, deflects the ball onto the stumps, and as he walks off, he swings his bat in annoyance and knocks out the leg stump. The commentators don't even mention that he did it.

Kohli being bowled by Rashid is even better.

Stokes often does the "slumps on his bat" when bowled; see against Starc in the 2019 WC.

Vaughan went through a phase of suggesting that a delivery that had just bowled him was completely unplayable.
