West Indian cricketer
Cameron Eustace Cuffy (born February 8, 1970) is a former West Indian cricketer, who, due to his height (6-foot 7 inches) was often likened to his predecessors in the West Indies side, Joel Garner and Curtly Ambrose.[1]
International career
[edit]
He made his Test debut against India in 1994. He dismissed Sachin Tendulkar three times in his Test career.
He was in and out of both the Test and one-day teams in the 1990s and after 2000, his international career was over. As a batsman, he was a tailender, averaging 4.14 in Test cricket.
Cuffy has the distinction of winning a man of the match award in a One Day International without scoring a run, taking a wicket or holding a catch.[2] Playing against Zimbabwe at Harare in the opening fixture of a Coca-Cola Cup tournament on 23 June 2001 he won the match award for his analysis of 10–2–20–0. As the hosts managed only 239 for 9 in reply to 266 for 5 by West Indies, Cuffy's economy was crucial. No other bowler in the match conceded fewer than 35 runs from his full 10-over entitlement.
