Should take him, not been charged yet. Even if he does, come back to plead not guilty and will be listed for trial after the series is complete.

[Buzzo]

Can't see it.

It sets a precedent. Plus... he is clearly guilty. Also imagine how much grief he will get down there... he will end up committing murder

[Liverpool]

same offence that was hanging over gerrard in 08/09, he played on and tore it up got off at trial despite the cctv

Imagine having to put out a public statement after getting pissed up and chatting nonsense.

[Buzzo]

Imagine having to come up with something so far fetched

Huge over-reaction to all of this IMO

Ben Stokes: England all-rounder loses New Balance sponsorship

Ben Stokes has lost his sponsorship with sportswear brand New Balance.

The England all-rounder was arrested on 26 September on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm following an incident near a Bristol nightclub.

The deal with the company - who also provide the kit for the England team - is worth a reported £200,000 per year to Stokes.

New Balance said it "does not condone behaviour that does not match our brand culture and values".

The England and Wales Cricket Board has said Stokes, 26, will not travel to Australia on 28 October with the rest of the Ashes squad "at this stage".

On Wednesday, the Test vice-captain apologised to TV personality Katie Price and her son Harvey for a video that appeared to show him imitating a TV appearance made by the disabled youngster.

Maybe, but perhaps this will give Stokes the opportunity to pause for thought next time he considers heading out on the piss knowing that last time it cost him £200k pa.

Not worth the hassle for the sponsors.

Not sure it's an overreaction. He's properly filled someone in at 2am. It's an appalling look.

Fairbrother said the player has his "total support and backing" after explaining the full circumstances to him of what happened in Bristol.

[Shaggy]

His agent is bound to say that. What the ECB thinks is what matters.

[Liverpool]

going to take that 5-0 bet, 16's on bet365

5/1 now, cash out is only double of stake

[Shaggy]

Not that I would, but Paddy Power aren't even offering me a cash out ffs, **** cunts
