#2 Most cricketers have only escaped with a fine and/or a short suspension
The then England captain Michael Atherton missed any punishment for his infamous 'dirt in the ball moment' from the ICC, but the England Cricket Board did take the step of imposing a token fine.
The legendary Pakistan pacer Waqar Younis was one of the first cricketers caught tampering with the ball and the first to be fined and suspended for the same. Waqar was taken to task by match referee after he found him guilty of the offence in an ODI against South Africa.
Waqar lived to tell the tale and is considered one of the foremost exponents of reverse swing.
