英格兰业余板球运动员Brian Devine因涉嫌在击球时点击手指以模仿边界音效来欺骗裁判而遭停赛。12 Saltburn板球俱乐部发表声明，该球员已被停赛，本赛季及可预见的将来不会再为俱乐部出赛。12 北约克郡和南达勒姆板球联赛于2026年7月25日收到正式投诉后已启动调查。2
数据分析显示了这一指控的异常迹象。2 在Devine参赛的13场比赛中，守门员接杀数量高达39次，而在他不参赛的7场比赛中仅为5次。2 尽管这些统计数字引发关注，但调查仍在进行中，指控尚未被证实。2
澳大利亚快速投球手Josh Hazlewood对此事发表了看法，表示这类行为在业余板球中由来已久，他指出："这类事情已经存在100年了，只是现在通过直播才被人们发现。"1 Devine在英国媒体中被讽刺性地冠以"Clicky Ponting"的绰号，以此参照澳大利亚传奇板球运动员Ricky Ponting。1
English amateur cricketer Brian Devine has been suspended following allegations that he simulated boundary sounds by clicking his fingers to deceive umpires.12 Saltburn Cricket Club announced that Devine has been stood down for the remainder of the season and the foreseeable future pending the outcome of an investigation.12 The North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League launched an official inquiry after receiving a formal complaint on July 25, 2026.2
Statistical analysis has raised further questions about Devine's participation.2 In the 13 matches Devine played, fielders recorded 39 catches, compared to only 5 catches across 7 matches when he did not participate.2 However, the allegations remain unproven as investigations continue.2
Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has commented on the controversy, stating that such conduct has existed in amateur cricket for a century but is only now receiving public attention due to live-streamed footage.1 Devine has drawn criticism from prominent figures including media personality Piers Morgan and former South African cricketer Dale Steyn.1 The English media has dubbed him "Clicky Ponting," a reference to Australian cricket legend Ricky Ponting.1
