Stokes Arrested

[Gnske]

They did literally nothing wrong.

Now we can hope this thread slowly dies away.... I still blame this on Stokes though, it is his actions that caused this thread to exist.

What the Chennai did just happen here?

 

[cnerd123]

I dare someone to submit an entry for 'Chennai' to the Cricketing Lexicon thread

His pro-Stokes line has also continued on his Twitter feed, much to the bafflement of pretty much everyone who responded to him on Twitter. Doesn’t even think he should lose the Vice-Captaincy.

I don’t mind Dobell usually; I don’t always agree with him but I respect his opinions and he usually has interesting things to say but this attitude is just baffling.

Like I said, I got no doubt he would've reacted differently had it been an Australian involved. Indeed, here's his reaction to the 2013 Root/Warner mess (where he says Root was generous in not getting the police involved):

Why do people keep going on as if they're identical incidents. They're totally different.

Warner randomly punched a professional cricketer, with no provocation beyond Root's face.

Stokes intervened when two people were copping homophobic abuse (or so it is believed) and fought back when one of them attacked with a bottle.

One is Warner being a complete tit. The other is Stokes flooring one of a pair of people, who themselves instigated the fight, including a weapon being involved.

Ultimately Stokes has done nothing wrong besides being on the piss at 2.30am or whenever it was.

They sound similar, Root was mocking Amla so Warner clocked him, nothing wrong there.

Root was being racist like all upper class good white boys are.

Warner was serving out emancipating justice for his non-white friends. I know you would have snapped Joe's goddamn ****ing neck like a twig with your brute strength had you been in his position.

Some guy was videoing hales getting a blow job off a girl in the toilets of the club. When he saw his phone they were trying to get it off him, thats when it kicked off. Hales is engaged so bad for him

 

[Burgey]

Sounds like he was engaged in something at the time.

 

[mr_mister]

ah that's interesting. celebrity privacy is at an all-time low after the wave of leaks lately so i wonder if this will affect the case in any way

That's pretty significant provocation though

strange when you think about it, that Hales' life is getting pretty messed up as a result of all this and all anyone gives a **** about is Ben Stokes

You might not like it but he's in the Durhams

don't force it

 

[cnerd123]

Yea it's never good to try and force a Chennai. It's always best to let it occur naturally.

That’s how Elvis died, wasn’t it?
