[Fuller Pilch]

These are visa conditions for NZ.I assume it is similar for other countries

If the scum who served time for on field cheating can get visas to play cricket again then surely Stokes will be allowed one in the future in the event he is convicted.

 

[Moonsorrow999]

Cheating in a 'game' and almost killing someone in an obviously drunken rage. Sure, pretty much the same thing.

I think they might chuck him on an anger management course.

This is from 2014. He's had a temper, and been behaving badly, for a very long time.

he should get an extra month added for pinning Kohli in front of the wickets to spoil what would be a famous victory

Tbf, what Asif and Amir did wasn't just cheating, it was a crime.

I'd forgotten about that - bearing it in mind I'd suggest a six month conditional charge

I don't find it comparable to almost killing two people in a drunken rage personally.

What Stokes has done is infinitely worse in my view.

Botham gets them to commentate and he got banned for taking drugs.

What price Sir Benjamin Stokes in a decade's time?

If he'd twatted an Aussie would have had it already.

No, what they did was a crime, but it wasn't cheating.

Yeah, the definition of cheating is:

act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage.

Bowling no-balls at specific points in the match does not gain your team an advantage. In fact, it is actually a minor hindrance. So spot fixing isn't really cheating, it is corrupt dishonesty.

The actions of Smith and co are the very epitome of on field cheating.

Jack Burnham is banned for two years for snorting Charlie. Beefy played for Durham.

It is a Durham thing. Team of reprobates.

And so what on earth would that have to do with getting a visa?
