An amateur cricketer nicknamed "Clicky Ponting" has been exposed for using a finger-clicking trick to con three batsmen into believing they had edged the ball, helping his side dismiss them during a league title-deciding match. The hoax relies on the fielding side clicking their fingers to mimic the sound of bat on ball, tricking batsmen into thinking they have nicked a catch and should walk, even when no genuine edge occurred.

The full details of the match, the players involved and the club concerned were not available in the article text supplied, which consisted largely of site navigation and unrelated headlines rather than the story itself. The headline indicates the deception proved effective enough to influence the outcome of a decisive title match, raising questions about sportsmanship and the integrity of dismissals in amateur cricket.
