Sir Ben Stokes

[RossTaylorsBox]

Struggling in the old comprehension stakes, I see.

A true Australian would have refused.

Bradman was Tory through and through. That’s why he was an arsehole. His missus was Bob Menzies’ cousin.

 

[GIMH]

You’ve got to hate a country whose sporting success is so limited that anyone who actually performs at anything gets a gong.

Hopefully you’re banned again soon, am bored of you now

 

[stephen]

As if Ben Stokes is fit to attend the grave of Bradman, let alone being given a knighthood like him. The bloke is a thug.

Though maybe the reason is that England have decided to go back to giving people knighthoods for how good they are at fighting. Sir Elton John must be terrified.

I've been bored of you since 2007 mate. Get over it and move on ffs.

Can you imagine if they actually knighted a bloke that should genuinely be in prison for assault? Surely there'd be backlash

I would think that actually fit the description of a knight as that's what these knights were doing colonising all the countries by fighting the good fight

 

[stephen]

Nah true knights were done and dusted before the era of colonisation. Unless you count the crusades as a failed colonisation attempt.

Cricket World Cup final: Ben Stokes asked umpire to take off four overthrows

extremely sceptical. Makes for a great story though.

 

[sunilz]

When did it exactly happen ? Or is it another made up story

 

[trundler]

One of you sad ****s needs to analyse the footage and lip read to confirm.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Done.
Dharmasena: "I think maybe it should only be 5 runs"
Stokes: "It must be 6 runs **** you always get everything wrong"
Dharmasena: "yeah fair enough but I don't know if I should call it 6?""
Stokes: "you want to end up like that bloke in Bristol?"
Dharmasena: "6 runs"
KW: "Hey guys, umm, I think . . . nevermind"

Cricket World Cup final: Ben Stokes asked umpire to take off four overthrows

"I think, talking to Michael Vaughan who saw him after the game, Ben Stokes actually went to the umpires and said, 'Can you take that four runs off. We don't want it'.“

I think + Vaughan = fake news

 

[Spikey]

Can't say I'm shocked that Stokes displayed a lack of understanding of the rules

Hiring Game of Thrones writers for their made up quotes I see

Vaughan is like the worst human being ever, winning the Ashes really got to his head. This is what happens when you knight someone, kp suffering from the same issue
