#3 Shahid Afridi

Pakistan v England, The Oval, 2006
Pakistan v Australia, Perth, 2010

It was a close ODI encounter between Australia and Pakistan in 2010 when another Pakistani Captain was charged with ball tampering. In a low scoring affair played at Perth Australia found themselves at 178-7, needing 35 runs off the last 30 balls.

Shahid Afridi was clearly seen biting and chewing the seam twice in the overs of Mohammad Asif and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan. He was found guilty and banned from two Twenty20 internationals. This tarnished his image and proved to be the lowest point in his long cricketing career.
