Its not confirmed but rumour mill says 4am fracas with academy member of rugby team

 

Can we assume he was out partying at 4 am?

 

Call me a prude but partying at 4 am is for the 20 25 yr old bachelors in the team. As a 35 yr old with a wife and son .... Maybe not for him. Shobha nahin deta

An incident at a nightclub involving England cricket captain Ben Stokes, pace bowler Gus Atkinson and a Saracens academy rugby union player is being investigated by the England and Wales Cricket Board and the Prem Rugby club.

An ECB statement said the England pair were involved in a "breach of team protocols" in the early hours of Monday morning, after the conclusion of their win over New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday.

These English players can't handle alcohol. Stokes is a repeated offender and still gets to play and captain the team despite his poor performances when they banished KP from the team for minor infringements.

Telegraph Sport understands that:

  • Stokes and Atkinson breached the team’s new midnight curfew and were embroiled in a melee with a Saracens academy player

  • The rugby player is understood to have thrown a punch at Atkinson, but connected with an ECB security guard supervising the players

  • The security guard was left requiring stitches, but Stokes and Atkinson were not injured

  • It is unclear if further punches were thrown

  • ECB sources are adamant the cricketers were “not the aggressors”

  • Police were not involved in the incident, which took place at a nightclub in Chelsea

I stopped "clubbing" at 29.

 

To be honest started slowly hating clubbing at 25.

 

We do have work drinks once a month and 11pm is the unofficial cut off

Title of thread is Ben Stokes & Gus Atkinson involved in late night incident. Please tell me what would a simple mind ponder when confronted with such statements. 

Should i edit to late might melee?

Those Rugby guys might have given them a solid beating who knows, as per ECB Stokes and Gus weren't the aggressors.

Both set to miss second test though.

 

Strokes captaincy hangs in the balance for now.

Ghar/Hotel pe bottle lake pio bhai.. What's with this repeated pub controversy and English cricketers. Idiots can't control themselves. Stokes was involved few years ago as well. 

 

This will be the end of overhyped miserable captaincy tenure of Ben Stokes. Did he win anything major during his captaincy?
