Annesley Frederick George Harman (10 November 1864 – 18 June 1895) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Canterbury from 1889 to 1894.
Annesley Harman was the third son of Richard James Strachan Harman, a leading Canterbury pioneer. He attended Christ's College, Christchurch, from 1875 to 1883, excelling in sport.[1] When he left school he joined Harman and Stevens, the law firm of which his father was a partner.[2]
For many years Harman was one of the leading batsmen in Christchurch senior club cricket, but perhaps owing to nerves he was unable to transfer this form to inter-provincial level.[1] His best score in 12 matches for Canterbury was 45, the highest score on either side when Otago beat Canterbury by five wickets in 1891–92.[3] He was sometimes more effective as a bowler, as in his first match for Canterbury when, having not bowled in Wellington's first innings, he took 5 for 43 in the second to help Canterbury to a 39-run victory.[4]
Harman died of pneumonia in June 1895, aged 30.[1] A stained-glass window in his memory was placed in St Michael's Church in Christchurch in August 1897.[5]
