Charles Bannerman passes aged 79 former Australian cricket great
The Gloucester Rover reports the death of Charles Bannerman aged 79 after a sudden illness. A onetime member of the first Australian Eleven that visited England in 1878, Bannerman was born in Kent in 1851 and came to Australia early in life. He starred in the famous 1877 match at Melbourne where his 165 helped a 245 total, a performance unmatched by others. The note recalls his place in cricket history and his pioneering role in Tests.
