Incidentally, I was told about this about a month ago. If the rest happens, Joe Root to take over.

The rest of what I have been told. There was two parts to it.

Part One: Cook has just resigned
Part Two: Root has taken over

Those on my facebook will know I posted this about a month ago.

I wouldn't expect him to have a rest at all, I would imagine he will continue as an opening batsmen but not skipper the side.

You certainly could. I used to live on an exclusive Victorian colonnade. I would visit the Victorian side of the town and "take the waters".

Be interesting to see if the recent event has an impact on Stokes Ashes selection.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I think it will. Hales as well :(

Possible broken hand would rule him out of 4 tests, not to mention the other side of things which may see him unable to travel.

From what I've seen I don't see the big deal. Stokes had 3 blokes round him and one of them had a smashed bottle.
Why's he the bad guy for hitting them?

Always the "celeb" will be made to look guilty. Mind you being out late on the piss is asking for trouble these days with so many "heroes" around.

That appears to have been against team rules which I think will lose him the Vice Captaincy. You're right as well about being out and about late at night is "asking for trouble" for a bloke in his position. Shouldn't be, but we know it is.

Could be worse, could have slapped a gold digging prozzie.

If he did that he should be in line for promotion and captaincy!
