[edit] Discrepancies in the statistical sources

Cricinfo and CricketArchive differ on several points regarding Cuffe's statistics. I have used CA for the article (including the infobox), but for the record the differences are:

  • Catches: CA says 127; Cricinfo 126.
  • Runs conceded: CA says 18,787; Cricinfo 18,803
  • Bowling average: CA says 25.45; Cricinfo 25.47

It's notable that Wisden's obituary (available online here; free registration required) says that Cuffe played twice for New South Wales, despite the fact that CricketArchive's list of his first-class games only gives one. Since both CA and Cricinfo agree that he played 221 times in first-class cricket, something's not right somewhere. Even if there were to be another NSW game originally adjudged first class but since downgraded, that wouldn't explain why Cricinfo gives Cuffe one fewer career catch.
