Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

It was on a night out. Could have been Ballance. He's out quite frequently.

No way would Ballance have broken a finger throwing a punch. At best he'd land a glancing nick, barely noticable but picked up by snicko.....

Ballance would have properly mashed up a couple of county standard bottle wielders, Bruce Lee style.

Having seen the video, it looks very much like somebody was giving him (them) grief, and tried the first punch, which made Stokes angry.

They then realised they'd poked the bear and wanted to back off, but he followed through, despite probably having the opportunity to walk away.

Shouldn't be in that situation in the first place though.

He'll have to behave in Oz if he's allowed out at night, they won't be so forgiving / wet.

Nothing wrong with our talismanic all rounder having a fight with an Australian, especially if the Australian is called Ian Chappell....

There are Australians in the Australian team? Don't they just rebadge a bunch of Saffers like we do?

Ged Stokes (Ben's dad, former NZ Rugby League international, generally thought of as good guy in RL circles) went back home to Christchurch a few years ago and works on rehabilitation of young offenders :-0
