The return of Theo Valeri to Griffith has brought about a change with the young all-rounder making an impact with both bat and ball.
Valeri has taken seven wickets so far this season to be sitting joint-first while picking up his best figures against Leagues with 6/22.
The Diggers skipper has also stood up with the bat when called upon scoring 123 runs in three games with a highest score of 59 in their crucial game against fellow top side Leagues.
