Black Cap reported for alleged ball tampering

NZC have now confirmed Black Cap and Canterbury top order batter Henry Nicholls has been reported by the match umpires for allegedly tampering with...

Sack Nicholls and Stead.

Bowling allrounder party at the top.

Interesting that as much as we find Nicholls frustrating in test cricket, he is burying his competition in (a depleted) Shield.

He has always been a 50+ guy at home tbf. Leaves the ball on the NZ length well.

I dunno if I'd deem that footage particularly conclusive in terms of getting him for ball tampering. Absolute clean skin, don't expect anything to come of it

Throw the book at him IMO.

Been charged

Ban him for a year and fine him the equivalent of $5 million

Look's very much like someones trying to make something out of nothing.

 

[Howsie]

He has to get banned for the summer at the very least. Us Kiwi’s have dined out on what Smith and co did for a year, can’t just sweep this under the carpet.

 

[Yeoman]

The video is not very clear and shows at most only brief contact with the helmet

 

[The Hutt Rec]

The umpires also reported him, and there’s three different videos, and the Auckland side suspected him and recorded him from the boundary as well. So I think there must be something to it with all that.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Love it. Scratch a ball against a helmet. Ban him for a year!
Incapable of understanding the meaning of no, get him in the Test team.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

There's no way he deserves more than a one or two game ban ... or missing the Bangladesh series as a push.

Bite the ball like an apple and maybe we'd have more of an issue.

 

[Flem274*]

Did the ball move afterwards? Because if it started hooping then we just need to teach him to be more discreet and he should make the test side all summer.

If true, that is a major brain melt from a senior player. Cameras all over the show
