5 cricketers who got away with ball-tampering very easily 

#3 Chris Pringle, New Zealand

The former Kiwi pacer scratched the ball with a bottle top

Former New Zealand pacer Chris Pringle tampered the ball in his very debut Test series, which was against Pakistan. The unlawful tampering of the ball helped the medium pacer claim away 11 wickets in the third Test at Faisalabad, on a wicket which was closest in its behaviour to being batting-friendly.

Technology back then was not too advanced, which is why his wrongdoing was not caught by anyone. However, Pringle himself revealed after his retirement that he tampered the ball using a bottle top to scratch it.

Pringle wrote in his autobiography – “Neither umpire showed any concern or took any notice in what we were doing even though, at the end of the innings, the ball was very scratched.”
