[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 101659, member: 23"] I find myself quite appalled that he's being rewarded with [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/42718484] selection for the England team[/url] just days after being found guilty of affray for violently assaulting somebody numerous times on camera. Is this really how things work? Don't get me wrong - I don't feel that one's career should automatically be ruined due to legal consequences. He's already lost a lucrative sponsorship deal and been suspended from the England squad (on paper, at least). But in this case I really don't think allowing things to return to normal so quickly is a good message to send. Not to his impressionable young fans. Not to the man he assaulted. And not to Stokes himself.
