5 cricketers who got away with ball-tampering very easily 

Australian Cricket Players Arrive In Sydney
It is being argued that the treatment being meted out to the Australian skipper is partial

#2 Stuart Broad, England

<p>
It was suspected that Broad tampered the ball using the spikes of his shoes

England pacer Stuart Broad was clearly caught stepping on the ball with the spikes of his shoes in a Test against South Africa. He stopped a moving ball with the help of his shoes, stepped on it and later dismissed the tampering saying he was lazy to stop the ball with his hands.

The opponent players complained about it, but no formal charges were laid and no inspection was made. In fact, former England captain Nasser Hussain had later confidently said that Broad had cheated, adding that “if a player from another country did the same, we’d have said they were cheating.”
