I see Mark Wood has been named in the Lions squad to tour Aus this winter.  Bit of a strange one that seeing as he didn't make the full squad.

He’ll be in Australia & playing, makes perfect sense to get overs in to him rather than carry the drinks for 2 months, call him up & him breaking down because he is coming in cold - same with a Jennings & Westley who will be playing & hopefully getting runs in the conditions

Fair point.  I think he is suited to the pitches down there and if fit would definitely look at having him in the side (especially if Stokes is out).

Agree, he has pace that would be useful, if he is fit

I imagine his ankle is very much not suited to pitches down there though sadly.

This brilliant little film was hidden away on BBC Four, worth 30 minutes of your time.

I see two guys in the Stokes incident have confirmed he was defending them from homophobic abuse and they had feared being attacked before he intervened. He may well have gone too far, but it paints it in a different light.

I saw that as the Aussies have been delighting in the Stokes incident regularly.

What might this mean for the case though? Could it mean he could play sooner?

I would think if he is charged it may have some impact on sentencing, but haven't got to a decision on whether he's going to be charged yet.

Whilst Stokes went over the top I actually find it quite refreshing that he saw fit to stand up for two men on a night out getting homophobic abuse and from what I can gather neither he nor Hales had revealed what they did for a living when chatting to the men earlier in the evening.

There wasn't much on TV last night so I amused myself by watching a rerun of Broad skittling the shackle rattlers at Trent Bridge.

Despite the latest revelations I see David Warner's wife, Candice Falzon, has come out and said Ben Stokes should be banned from the entire Ashes tour.

Yes, that's David 'gobshite who punched a player in an unprovocked attack and got banned for 28 days' Warner's wife.

Rumour has it she's had more pricks than a 2nd hand dart board too.

Before being Mrs Warner wasn't she caught in the bogs with Dunny Bill Williams?
