You mean the big red and white "flag" that used to get crowd surfed before the game? Townend Terry used to get the flag out from behind his seat.

I don't know who actually owned them, I presumed the club. But last time I saw it, a few  seasons ago, it smelled like a dead tramp had been stored in it. I assume it got chucked away shortly after.

 Charles Bannerman....first man to score a century in a test match...doing so for Convicts v England in 1877. Bannerman scored 165 before retiring hurt, thus scoring 67.3% of the Aussie total of 245, which I believe is still the highest %age scored by one man in a Test innings.

Well it might not be the club that owned them, but its gonna take a hell of a washing machine to make them smell right.

No, shit....Convicts won by 45 runs.  I do however remember the Centenary Test of 77, which coincidentally the Convicts also won by 45 runs.
