*Official* England in South Africa 2019/20

This actually made me burst out laughing. It's so damn childish

As he was walking off, having been dismissed for two, the player was caught on television coverage responding to a fan off-camera, shouting: “Come and say it to me outside the ground you ****ing four-eyed ****.”

It was not audible on camera what the spectator said to Stokes but other witnesses in the area suggested to the Guardian that a middle-aged male fan had abused Stokes and referenced the singer Ed Sheeran.

It's so rare that we actually get details of these exchanges too. I wasn't expecting the whole thing.

Stokes is very good at cricket, and it's a good job as he's probably not going to make the finals of university challenge, y'know?

Baddiel and Newman's 'History Today' anyone? See that chunk of rotten carrot? That's you that is.

Beyond that, it won't help Stokes get the captaincy as and when Root does call it a day.

Not allowed to threaten fans no matter what...Act like a professional...If he gets the same points as kg then there is something seriously messed up with the system...

Some suggestion the spectator had said something about Stokes's old man, according to The Debate on Sky.

Doesn't excuse his outburst, but might explain it a little.

Might be a bit too early in his career to say but I'm pretty confident Burns will end up being the next captain of England anyway

One doesn’t want to drag up buried skeletons but one wonders if they were so understanding when it was a certain D Warner who did basically exactly the same thing.

 

[Adders]

You’re meant to be impressed with the wokeness of it.

Had to google "wokeness"..........you really are a dead set ****wit mate.

 

[Flem274*]

i dont see why fans are off limits. if a customer shouted abuse about your dad in your workplace (knowing he was in poor health) that customer would be removed from the premises and i personally would forget to mention any '**** off' an employee replied with to upper management.

edit - oh, i see it might have been just generic ed sheeran abuse. erm yeah, remove customer but don't bite back at something that lame.

 

[the big bambino]

Ooh that’s clever adders. Your just like Stokes except he can play cricket.

I wonder why a pitch that encourages both sides to pick five seamers doesn’t get the same criticism as a sub con bunsen? Seems to sum the condition of SA pitches and they never get blowback for it. Good for the game. Adds to the variety of conditions. Yet when Australia had one turning pitch for a brief while we nobbled it so it became as uniform as all the other grounds.

Broadcaster stitched him rewinding the footage after the ad break too.

How would you know what I'm like? Your habit of making assumptions on my character is extremely dire.

you did just call him a ****wit

 

[Adders]

Because he is a ****wit on here........got no idea what he is like in the real world and make no assumptions on him as a person.

 

[Spikey]

lock him up

 

[mr_mister]

Tbf he should have been yelling those insults at a prison guard patrolling the hallways outside his cell

You think everyone who says anything negative about any English cricketer is a ****wit, stop being so precious


Anyway the incident sums up the character of Stokes pretty well. Incredibly talented but has all the burning wit and intellect of a boiled cabbage

 

[Spikey]

time to see what george doebell has to say

 

[mr_mister]

It just looks so bad him implying anything sort of violent. Like if it was said outside the ground would he have knocked him out?

Butler's was honestly far worse in isolation as Stokes didn't start this altercation it just looks so much worse coz of Stokes history. I feel bad for him

 

[ImpatientLime]

man on internet feels bad for world cup winning superstar

You really shouldn't wade into a discussion with NFI of what's been said. This isn't about any English player.
