He was allegedly mocking a disabled kid which I sincerely hope is not true

The very idea that Strokes wouldn't go on this tour is completely crazy in my eyes.

Mind you judging by the ECB it wouldn't surprise me....they are hyper sensitive to bad press like all corporates and like to appear as toucy feely as possible....as long as the money keeps rolling in.

The Police are the same...so political and hyper sensitive to press. What Strokes did was stupid but it happens every weekend in town centres between drunk males and nothing ever happens. It should be nothing more than a slap on the wrist, a fine and a 'don't do it again'.

Strokes is a sportsman. He isn't my mate or have to be some nice guy. If he's said something stupid on a video then people are free to call him a jerk. But the idea that it would restrict his living just blows my mind.

I doubt it, the Australians can hardly do that with Warner in their side.

Besides, while some criticism is appropriate....like we gave to Warner.... they aren't as hysteria about these type of things as we are.

Who do you think decides these things?

I'm thinking more along the lines of the Australian Immigration Service and their character tests as part of visa applications.

Ok - let's have a virtual pint on it - seems not to be self defence, is extended - lasts a minute and quite a few blows landed with not much in return - so looks like ABH to me.
