Kevin Griffith (born 17 January 1950) is a former English cricketer who played first-class and List A cricket for Worcestershire between 1967 and 1972.
Griffith made his first-class debut against Leicestershire in late August 1967, scoring 11 and 0 and going wicketless in his four overs.[1] He played one more game that season, taking the single wicket of Leicestershire's Peter Marner,[2] and three more in 1968, but did not achieve any notable successes.
1969 was the first season in which Griffith played a significant part, turning out in nine first-class and one List A games. Against Oxford University in June, he claimed a second-innings 7/41, comfortably his best first-class innings return.[3] He played just one first-team game in 1970, being almost entirely confined to the Second XI.
In 1971, he played a substantial part in Worcestershire's season, appearing in 24 first-class games while scoring 575 runs at just under 20 and taking 32 wickets at a little over 37. He also played 14 List A matches. It was in 1971 that Griffith had his best match for Worcestershire, versus Yorkshire in early June: he made 42 and 59 (his only half-century) and took four second-innings wickets as Worcestershire ran out comfortable winners.[4]
In 1972 Griffith played several games early on, including the tour match against the Australians,[5] but was increasingly relegated to the Second XI. Indeed, his last two first-team games - both in the John Player League - were 11 weeks apart.[6]
