英国东北部沿海小镇Saltburn的板球队二队在对阵Norton二队的比赛中涉嫌作弊。1视频显示,一名守场员在击球手挥杆时打响手指,试图欺骗裁判认为球已击中球棒边缘。1这段视频被网络戏称为"Clickgate",在社交媒体上获得超过700万次观看,引发全球关注。1
涉事守场员名叫Brian Devine,现年38岁,是一名公司秘书,网络上将其戏称为"Clicky Ponting"。1这一作弊指控在板球圈引起强烈反响,因为板球向来被视为"绅士游戏"。事件发生后,Devine失去了一家当地印度餐厅的赞助。1未经证实的报道称他已被其所在俱乐部暂停资格。1北约克郡和南达勒姆板球联赛正在对此事进行调查。1
Saltburn队在前一场对阵Shildon Railway的比赛中,守门员创造了8次接杀的记录。1
A cricket match in the English coastal town of Saltburn has sparked widespread controversy after video evidence emerged of an apparent attempt to deceive officials.1 During a fixture between Saltburn's second eleven and Norton's second eleven, a fielder allegedly snapped his fingers in synchronization with the batter's swing to trick the umpire into believing the ball had struck the edge of the bat.1 The incident, dubbed "Clickgate," gained over 7 million views online and drew global attention to the scandal.1
The fielder at the center of the controversy is Brian Devine, a 38-year-old company secretary who has been nicknamed "Clicky Ponting" following the incident.1 Devine has faced immediate consequences, losing sponsorship from a local Indian restaurant, and unverified reports suggest he has been suspended from his club.1 The North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League has launched an investigation into the matter.1 Cricket has long been regarded as a "gentleman's game," and the allegation has been widely condemned as fundamentally contrary to the sport's values.1
