'''Adam Richard 'Eddy' Griffith''' (born 11 February 1978) is a former Australian [cricket](/source/cricket) player and Australian bowling coach. He was appointed as the cricket coach for [Tasmania](/source/Tasmania_cricket_team) for the 2017–2018 season. He played [first-class cricket](/source/first-class_cricket) for [Tasmania](/source/Tasmania_cricket_team) and also had a spell at [Leicestershire](/source/Leicestershire_County_Cricket_Club).

==Playing career==
Griffith represented his native state of Tasmania between 2002 and 2010, and was a member of Tasmania's first-ever [Sheffield Shield](/source/Sheffield_Shield) winning team in 2006–07. He took 158 first-class wickets for Tasmania; at the time of his retirement he was the fifth-highest wicket taker in the state's history.
