A club cricketer in Saltburn has become the centre of a village cricket controversy after allegedly using a trick to deceive umpires, in an episode being dubbed "Clickgate". The player, nicknamed "Clicky Ponting" after the trick reportedly involved a clicking sound used to influence appeals, is now subject of an investigation, and the story has generated significant attention within grassroots English cricket circles.

Beyond the nickname and the "Clickgate" label, the Daily Mail's report provides limited detail on the specifics of the incident, the club involved, or the outcome of any investigation. The affair has nonetheless struck a chord in village cricket communities across England, drawing comparisons to high-profile professional cheating controversies given the "Ponting" nickname reference.
