Brian Devine banned for two years after ball-tampering allegations
Brian Devine was banned for two years after accusations of ball-tampering through finger-clicking. Saltburn CC received a 60-point deduction and relegation.
Brian Devine has been banned from all cricket for two years after being accused of clicking his fingers to fake bat-on-ball noise.
The former Saltburn CC player earned the nickname 'Clicky Ponting' after video of the alleged incident spread online.
Saltburn's second XI was relegated to division three, hit with a 60-point deduction for next season, and fined by the league. The action follows an investigation into the club's second team.

The league didn't stop at Devine — they also punished the club, which makes it harder for other teams to claim they didn't know what their players were doing.
