Geoffrey Merton Griffin (born 12 June 1939) was a cricketer who played two Tests for South Africa in 1960. He was the first South African cricketer to take a hat-trick in a Test match.
The English umpire Syd Buller repeatedly called Geoff Griffin for throwing in the exhibition match staged following the early conclusion of the Lord's Test between England and South Africa in 1960, after Frank Lee had called him during the Test itself. This had the effect of ending Griffin's Test career. [2]
