Ted or Joe?

[edit]

Cricketarchive allocates the 2 matches to Ted, but Cricinfo gives them to Joe. I think cricinfo is correct From CricketArchive:

First-Class Matches played by Edward Seale (2)
22nd February 1878 	First-Class matches in Australia 1877/78 	 	New South Wales v Victoria 	Association Ground, Sydney 	f2092
24th January 1879 	Lord Harris' XI in Australia and New Zealand 1878/79 	 	New South Wales v Lord Harris' XI 	Association Ground, Sydney 	f21

From Cricinfo: Joe's page and the 2 scorecards:

Looking in Trove, J Seale is listed for the contemporary match reports vs NSW, but only "Seale" in all the Lord Harris match reports. In a pre-game advertisement, however, he is listed as "J Seale". "E Seale" is listed as winning a trophy for the best batting average in 1880 for the club, so he was playing well at that time. I think the closest he got to a first class match was 12th man in 1880.

I will move this page to Joseph Seale, as both contemporary and current sources align, unlike cricket archive. The-Pope (talk) 14:05, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
