In the days following the third Test in Sydney Bligh was given an embroidered velvet bag with a victor’s olive crown embroidered on it by Mrs Ann Fletcher, the wife of the NSW cricket team’s manager, to house Bligh’s "ashes" trophy.
The urn and bag remained in Bligh's possession until his death in 1927; they were later presented to Marylebone Cricket Club, where they remain today.
