Griffith's best bowling of the tour, and his best in Test cricket, came in the final match at The Oval when he took six for 103, at one stage taking five for 21 as England collapsed from 301 for two to 333 for seven.

He was the first bowler in Test cricket to send Donald Bradman back to the pavilion with a duck.

This led to the Australians missing their target and the West Indies' first Test victory against Australia (and, in fact, their second overall).

He was part of the touring side in 1933 and took three Test wickets against England when just short of his fortieth birthday.

In June 1988 Griffith was celebrated on the Barbadian 50c stamp alongside the Barbados Cricket Buckle.
