So Ben Stokes is going to lose his captaincy of the English test squad for being out on the RAS again. It's been reported that he is considering giving it up, which is probably shorthand for he's being told to give it up or they're going to take it from him. And harsh as that is, and it is harsh to lose your captaincy over something like this. It is also deserved. Because the more that we're learning about what happened that night, the worse it looks. Seven cricket players were out drinking. They bumped into the Saracens rugby team at the pub. Midnight arrived, midnight is the curfew, by the way, on this team. Five players had gone home and two hadn't. Ben Stokes and Gus Ankinson were the ones still behind. And then something happened. The Sarenson's rugby player, who's a big lad from Sarmor, tried to punch Atkinson. He missed and he hit the security guard, and the rest, as they say, is history. Now the trouble for Stokes here is that he's the captain and he fell at the first hurdle. This was the first time curfew had been imposed on the team since the drinking during the Ashes Tour and the Fisty Cuffs in Wellington and the team being pulled into line that had created the curfew. And at the first curfew, Stokes fails. And that is despite five of his more junior teammates doing the right thing and going home. This is not defendable anymore in the age of professional sport where players are paid a mint to perform and not embarrass the brand. And this is for the rest of us, also at a time when the social tolerance for drunken antics appears to have evaporated almost completely. You cannot blame Drink for calling a colleague the F-word at a budget party in Nicola Willis's office. You cannot blame Drink for a punch up after a test in London. They're obviously, but for the grace of God, go all of us, because hands up, who hasn't embarrassed themselves, embarrassed themselves on a big night out and probably will again. But Stokes has done it before. He was warned. He had rules. And the biggest crime really is that he broke the very rule that was designed to avoid this happening. You can say this for sure. The captaincy is almost certainly gone.
