#4 Faf du Plessis and the ball tampering fiasco
South Africa's third straight Test series win in Australia in 2016 was overshadowed by the incident of the visiting captain Faf du Plessis indulging in ball tampering in the second Test of that series at Hobart after he was found guilty of applying saliva to the ball.
du Plessis was fined 100% of his match fee and awarded three demerit points for his actions.
He appealed against the verdict, but the ICC stuck by its decision to dock the Protean skipper.
