Bowling Style and 'Finn's Law'
Finn’s bowling technique, specifically his approach to the crease, attracted attention during the early years of his international career. Notably, there were repeated incidents where he unintentionally dislodged the stumps at the non-striker's end while delivering the ball. A significant incident occurred during South Africa’s 2012 tour of England, in the Headingley Test, prompting criticism and debate. In response, Finn modified his run-up in 2013 to prevent further issues. The International Cricket Council (ICC) later introduced a new regulation, informally known as "Finn’s Law," which declared such deliveries as no-balls if the bowler breaks the non-striker’s stumps during delivery.
Retirement
After 17 years with Middlesex, Finn joined Sussex in 2022. He retired from all forms of cricket on August 14, 2023, aged 34, because of a chronic knee injury. He played 36 Tests, 69 ODIs and 21 T20Is for England.
