What Is The Clicky Ponting Controversy? The controversy began during a North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League Division Two match between Saltburn's second XI and Norton. The club said it was treating the allegations seriously and was cooperating with the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League. One report said footage appeared to show a Saltburn third XI player using a similar tactic in a separate game. Clicky Ponting has become cricket's latest viral cheating story, but the final judgement will come from the investigation, not social media.
