But when I saw overnight that Ben Stokes is on the verge of being suspended from the England captaincy for a nightclub incident after their first test win over New Zealand, I got to say, I just, my head is just, as I speak to you, my head is still shaking.
Well, do you know what?
It's such a good point because the whole Brendan McCollum, Ben Stokes reign, yes, sure, it had basball and had aggression and had a sort of flamboyance, but it had a lack of accountability.
And, you know, the standards were sloppy.
players got away with too much we had harry brook punch getting punched by a bouncer in new zealand and that being kept secret for a few months we had ben duckett out on the streets of noosa uh you know wandering around half shot we had you know all those sort of things so the midnight curfew comes in for this series ben stokes talks to his players on the eve of the test saying we need to win back public trust
You know, he tells people we haven't got an alcohol culture and then he goes out and at the first testing of the curfew, he stays out after midnight with Gus Atkinson where they run into a group of rugby players from Saracens who are having an end of season breakup.
One of those rugby players allegedly gets into some sort of an issue with Atkinson and
and throws a punch, misses Atkinson, but hits a security guard who now needs stitches.
That is the accusation as published in the London Telegraph.
So, you know, this is, I mean, what was he doing out after midnight?
That was the first thing, you know.
And they've been at pains to say, the ECB, that the players were not the aggressors.
Gerard, I say this, who cares?
They're involved in a stink after midnight when they should have been, when they said they were going to be in bed.
Oh, absolutely.
Very, very likely.
I cannot see any way he can play the second test against New Zealand, and the same with that concern, if they've got any standards at all.
Apparently McCullum and Rob Key, the director of English cricket, are furious because they weathered the whole thing about... And, Gerard, if you want the punchline, are you waiting for it?
Yep.
If he gets suspended as captain, the new captain will be, wait for it, Harry Brooke, the guy who was involved with the bouncer in New Zealand.
