The image captures a moment that sparked controversy and debate within the cricketing world - Griffith's unique and controversial bowling action. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness Griffith in full swing, his body contorted in an unusual manner as he releases the ball towards the batsman. His unorthodox technique raised eyebrows and divided opinions among fans, players, and experts alike. Some hailed it as a revolutionary approach to fast bowling, while others questioned its legality. The intensity of the game is palpable through this photograph; you can almost hear the roar of the crowd and feel their anticipation hanging in the air.
