If Stokes doesn't go, which unfortunately looks likely and he needs to learn from this. I think I'd go with Plunkett as a replacement, we don't have anyone like Stokes and I think Plunkett is best option to balance the side. Team would be something like:CookStonemanVinceRootMalanBairstowAliWoakesPlunkett BroadAndersonPlunkett offers us something different with the ball that we don't have and his batting is useful. We can't replace Stokes, but I think that's the best we can do.
When David Warner smacked Joe Root at 3 in the morning, the Aussies banned him for a period which ended 4 days before the start of the Ashes
Self defence appears to be a popular line but a few too many punches for me to consider that.
I wonder if the case could be delayed until mid-January? Perhaps a Cricket-loving solicitor in the CPS could put the case file at the bottom of their in tray?That aside I think the Aussies at home in front of a partisan crowd will be too strong for our inconsistent batting. Hopefully it won't be as bad as 2013 but I think we will struggle.
