‘Worst ever’: English club cricket cheating storm erupts over ‘dodgy’ act as damning history exposed

A cheating scandal has erupted in English club cricket after a video surfaced showing a Saltburn Cricket Club slip fielder clicking his fingers to deceive the umpire into giving a batter out during a second XI match against Middlesborough Cricket Club in the North Yorkshire and South Durham League. The clip went viral on social media, with cricketers worldwide condemning the act, and the original poster called it 'about the worst case of cheating I've ever seen in cricket.' Middlesborough's captain responded with additional footage alleging at least two more similar incidents occurred in the same match.
