In the wake of Australia's ball-tampering scandal, record-breaking New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor has inadvertently been caught signing a piece of sandpaper as part of a prank by Kiwi cricket fans.

A quartet of New Zealand fans came to the second test dressed up in Australia's test whites - accompanied with the baggy green cap, a cricket ball and some yellow sandpaper - and dubbed themselves the "Australian leadership group".
