England cricketers don't help themselves sometimes.... Stokes & Atkinson investigated over nightclub incident

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/c0ry801k2geo

Along with a piece of "what ifs" and "could bes" from Stephan Shemilt.

Remember George C Scott in Dr Strangelove? I'm going to channel his Gen Buck Turgidson when he's explaining things to the President.

1) WE DO NOT KNOW THE FACTS.

Journos are going berserk based on a couple of lines from ECB and Saracens Rugby Club. Something happened, we don't know what, it's being investigated.

2) THE GAME WAS OVER

Getting late night bladdered after a game has finished does not effect the result. We also do not know the full details of the team protocols in place. Perhaps there was a misreading. Again, we do not know the full facts.

3) AN "INCIDENT" COULD MEAN ANYTHING

Until we know the full facts - recurrent theme here - the word "incident" has no real meaning. It could be something inane, silly and irrelevant. But these bodies being what they are, they have to use specific words and phrases.

4) STOP TALKING CRAP

I'm sorry, but "Immense Damage" is a phrase far more accurate for the poisonous racism that has clouded the game and its media since the Yorkshire CCC racism story exploded.

Until we know the full facts, anything cricket journalists might utter is just waffle.

5) IF ON THE OTHER HAND HE'S GOOD, REALLY SHARP...

The point that Richard Thompson and Richard Gould were in post at Surrey CCC when Tom Maynard died aged 23 in an incident involving alcohol could be thought by some to have some bearing on their immediate futures.

But we should wait until the facts of the incident are known. Not rely on conjecture from journalists.
