Pakistan's flamboyant all-rounder Shahid Afridi's ball biting in Perth during the fifth ODI against Australia can well be called the dumbest on-field antic but it surely was not an incident in isolation.

And no matter how politically incorrect it might sound but Afridi's statement that "every team does ball tampering" does have a backing of series of such incidents and CricketNDTV.com takes a look at some of them.
