Faf du Plessis will find out by Sunday if he will face a charge for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct after South Africas stand-in captain was shown on camera shining the ball with what appeared to be a sweet in his mouth. ICC CEO David Richardson is expected to take a call over the incident, which took place during the recent Hobart Test.The footage emerged on Wednesday, the day after the conclusion of the match, which South Africa won by an innings and 80 runs to take the series. It was not reported by match officials within the stipulated 18 hours after the game. Instead, the ICC was alerted of the incident through media queries and is now reviewing it of its own volition. It has until Sunday, a stipulated five days after it began reviewing the footage, to make its decision.The ICC has been alerted to the footage and is currently reviewing the incident from the perspective of it being a possible breach of the ICC Code of Conduct, an ICC spokesperson told ESPNcricinfo.Although Cricket South Africa has not made an official comment on the matter, it is understood the board is confident du Plessis was acting within the laws of the game. Cricket Australia has also not commented, neither has it registered an official complaint.This is not the first time du Plessis has come under scrutiny. In 2013, five penalty runs were awarded to Pakistan, the ball changed and du Plessis fined 50% of his match fee for rubbing the ball close to the zipper of his trouser pocket during a Test in Dubai. Du Plessis pleaded guilty to the charge and match referee David Boon said he was satisfied that du Plessis actions were not part of a deliberate and/or prolonged attempt to unfairly manipulate the condition of the ball.It is also not the first time South Africa have faced allegations of tampering with the ball, by either opposition or officials. In March 2014, David Warner accused AB de Villiers of scuffing up the ball with his gloves, for which Warner was fined 15% of his match fee. After the Perth Test, Josh Hazlewood said he saw South Africa throwing the ball onto the pitch in order to try and accelerate the deterioration of one side in order to generate reverse-swing. Ahead of the Hobart Test, du Plessis maintained the ball had reversed the same for both teams and said the issue had been blown out of proportion. Neither incident was taken up further.Previously, in July 2014, Vernon Philander was fined 75% of his match fee after footage of him digging into the ball with his nail was made available to Jeff Crowe, the match referee in Sri Lanka. Philander accepted his penalty without contest.South Africa were originally scheduled to play a two-day pink-ball practice match over the weekend in Melbourne. Instead, that game has been altered to a one-day match on Saturday, giving them extra time off after their series win and ahead of the final Test, which starts in Adelaide from November 24.

In James Tamous second campaign at North Queensland in 2010, the club only avoided the wooden spoon due to Melbourne being stripped of its points by the NRL due to salary cap breaches.Seven seasons later, he leaves a premiership-winner and with the club established as one of the real powerhouses of the NRL.Ill definitely be proud of what weve accomplished and how far weve come, he said.The premiership is something to be proud of.The NSW and Kangaroos prop will depart the club for Penrith following the Cowboys 32-20 preliminary final loss to Cronulla at Allianz Stadium on Friday night.While most clubs have their playing stocks raided after a grand final success, Tamou at this stage remains their only premiership winner to announce hes leaving the club since last years decider.And with the club having reached the preliminary finals in the past two under-20s competitions, he cant see any reasons why the Cowboys wouldnt maintain their form in the NRL.Theyve got some players of the future, Tamou said.Obvviously big Jase (Taumalolo) had a heck of a year.dddddddddddd Coen Hess coming through and Kayln Ponga as well.If they keep them together with the older guys theyll learn a lot and have a good future.Tamous influence at the club wont have ended with Friday night though.Hes formed a close bond with a number of the clubs younger players, most notably human wrecking-ball Taumalolo.Hes been there from day dot, Taumalolo said.Even off the field, we used to hang out a lot. I was there when he first met his partner and had kids. To see him progress to the man he is now has been a credit to himself.Theres a few like Patty Kaufusi and Josh Asiata playing through the middle that Jimmys obviously helped out there in mentoring them.It will be a big loss for those young guys coming through for losing a mentor like Jimmy but the boys can only learn for themselves now and get better.
