AC Bannerman was a public servant by profession and an avid and successful amateur cricketer. A cautious, 'stonewalling' batsman and a highly regarded fielder, Bannerman was a member of the Australian team from 1878 until 1893. The 1880 Australian tour of England, from when this tankard dates, is notable in that it included the first Test match played on English soil.User Contributed Tags
