ICC charges Faf over ball tampering

[Mosher]

Faf at it again.

 

Du Plessis has pleaded not guilty and is seeking legal advice to further contest the charge. A hearing before match referee Andy Pycroft will be held, but a date for the hearing has not yet been set by the ICC.

The ICC confirmed in a statement on Friday that du Plessis had been charged for breaching Article 2.2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which relates to "changing the condition of the ball".

The ICC statement said: "The alleged incident happened on Tuesday morning when TV footage appeared to show du Plessis applying saliva and residue from a mint or sweet, an artificial substance, to the ball in an attempt to change its condition."

Pathetic. Either make a rule where you can use anything to shine or just ban shining the ball using anything other than clothes.

This guy has potential. Maybe SA can win an ICC world cup or t20 under him. 

Doesn't care if he gets charged.

That was quite blatant from Faf.

He has such a good attack no need to this.

 

Third time South Africa has been busted in recent times.

Something about green caps and messing around with the ball
