Whereas Hall was an out-and-out swift, Griffith was slower, but he possessed a lethal quicker ball which quite a few have been unhappy with.

Whereas Hall was an out-and-out swift, Griffith was slower, but he possessed a lethal quicker ball which quite a few have been unhappy with." One of Griffith's lethal deliveries fractured the skull of Indian batsman, Nari Contractor, in 1963.

While Jakari Griffith was not as productive as his compatriot, Wes Hall, he left an indelible mark in cricket history- albeit under questionable circumstances. He was a feared quick bowler, yes, but lots of query the legality of his bowling action. Fans and players usually suspected that Griffith "threw" his more rapidly deliveries (as opposed to pies). Inside the 1960s, the television coverage of players was not as precise because it is now, however the suspicions lingered till Griffith remodelled his action. Regrettably, he negatively remodelled his bowling returns too. To demonstrate this, Griffith scalped 59 wickets in his 1st 14 Tests and only 35 in his next 14 matches.

Griffith produced his Test debut for the West Indies against England at Port of Spain in 1960. He ended his profession against New Zealand at Christchurch in 1969. In the course of his nine years of international cricket, Charlie played 28 Test matches, taking 94 wickets at an typical of 28.54. His best innings bowling figures of 6/36 came against England at Leeds in 1963. His most effective match figures of 9/81 at Test level came in that extremely match at the same time. Griffith took 5-wickets in a Test innings on five occasions, with 4 5-wicket hauls against England and 1 against Australia.

In 1963, Griffith had an astounding year, capturing 32 Test scalps from only 5 Test matches, to earn the Wisden Cricketer with the Year award in 1964. It can be intriguing to note that he played most of his Tests against England and Australia. Outdoors of these two, he played India thrice and New Zealand twice.

Charlie Griffith is thought of a 'great' of West Indies cricket by his reputation as a feared fast bowler and as a result of his productive partnership with Wes Hall inside the 60s. Accusations of throwing diminished his impact and tarnished his reputation somewhat. Charlie by no means played Initial class cricket for teams other than the W.I. and Barbados, likely because of the suspicions of "throwing." Nevertheless he remains among the icons of Caribbean cricket.
