Not really the done thing to go on a bender in the middle of a world cup, is it? (I know it wasn't exactly a mind-blowing adventure, but by the sound of things he was pretty sozzled...) Can't say I'd have a problem with it during his own time, but he's being paid to be there and is supposed to be being professional - I'm sure the team were told not to do that, so he deserves the punishment. No man is bigger than the team.

Can you imagine the uproar it would have caused if it was the England football Captain?!
Hardly the crime of the century, but he should definitiely be punished. He was stupid and could have been killed. Little kids look up to him.

I saw a report on it, & they asked Nasser Hussain what he thought about it all, he went on for like 5 minutes saying how 'it's a disgrace' etc...
Then Ian Botham comes on and says its all blown out of proportion and his only mistake was getting caught. ;D
Hopefully it'll work in our favour, he now has a point to prove and could be the player of tournament...

Takes the pressure and limelight off the rest of the players though....
Plus, it should have been kept quiet, the whole world didn't need to know

I think it's good that the management team were so hard on him, finally they're showing backbone There was hardly any reason to be out drinking after the New Zealand match, there wasn't much to celebrate anyway. People look up to him (not me really, I prefer Paul Collingwood, because he's cool ) and what he did, he could've been killed. So yeah, really quite an idiot. And as for Botham sticking up for him... Well, I won't tell you my views of Botham.

Good point, actually - just think; we could've been mourning the death of two English cricketers today!
