A succession of injuries beset the career of David Griffiths, injuries which eventually led to Hampshire releasing this talented bowler with an air of frustration and regret at the end of the 2013 season and Kent taking the same decision three years later. It all added up to 100 appearances in all formats in 12 years since his debut in 2005 and, as he called it a day, he could reflect that it had literally been one of the most painful centuries on the county circuit.
