Rubbing it the wrong way - the most famous ball tampering incidents in cricket

Rahul Dravid in 2004 – Jammy stuck in jelly!

Rahul Dravid – too much jelly on the ball

Another Indian maestro who rubbed the cherry the wrong way. In January 2004, Rahul Dravid, the then Indian vice-captain was charged for ball tampering and was fined for rubbing a half-eaten lolly on one side of the ball during an ODI against Zimbabwe in Australia.

The footages showed Dravid shining one side of the ball with his saliva and then peeling off a jelly like substance from the ball. The match referee Clive Lloyd adjudged it to a deliberate offence and fined the Indian vice-captain. Rahul Dravid, however, denied the allegations and said that he had no intent of doctoring the ball.
