Queensland Bulls
Encyclopedia
The Queensland cricket team, nicknamed the Bulls, are the Brisbane
-based Queensland
representative cricket
team in Australia's domestic cricket tournaments:
was a penal colony established at Redcliffe
in 1824, which moved to Brisbane
the following year. Free settlers first arrived in 1842.
The earliest evidence of cricket being played in Queensland is in 1857, two years prior to separation from New South Wales
and statehood. A match between Brisbane and Ipswich
was held in 1859 while in 1860 a Toowoomba team played Dalby
. By 1862 there were also teams in Warwick
, Maryborough
, Gayndah, Gympie
, Rockhampton
and the Lockyer Valley.
Queensland's first inter-colonial (i.e. representative) match was in 1864 when their XXII was beaten by a New South Wales XI. In 1875, Queensland recorded their first victory when their XVIII beat the NSW XI. That victory was a catalyst for the formation of the Queensland Cricket Association in 1876. Queensland was finally granted first-class status in 1892/93, winning its inaugural first-class match against NSW in that season by 14 runs.
Queensland rarely played more than two inter-colonial matches per season from 1892/93, with generally one match (and often both) against New South Wales
. The tyranny of distance and non-professional nature of the players severely limited opportunities for more first-class competition during this period.
The Sheffield Shield competition commenced in 1892/93 but Queensland's initial applications for admission were refused. Despite their minimal first-class exposure, Queensland still produced four Australian Test players prior to their Sheffield Shield debut, though none played more than six Tests. The first was the colourful Arthur Coningham who played his only Test in 1895. Remarkably, he took a wicket with his very first delivery (it was also the first ball of the Test). He also scored Queensland's initial first-class century, 151 against NSW.
1910/11 was a very successful season as Queensland recorded three first-class wins for the first time, beating NSW home and away and Victoria in Melbourne in their only three games of the summer.

By the early 1950s Queensland had a very competitive side and was regularly finishing in the top three of the (now) five team Shield following Western Australia's
admission in 1946/47. In 1956/57 they finished an agonising one point behind winners NSW. More Australian players were produced, including Ron Archer

, Ken 'Slasher' Mackay
and Peter Burge. Another highlight of this period was the dramatic Tied Test

The Queensland teams of the 1980s were even stronger, featuring many outstanding cricketers, both "home-grown" and others attracted from interstate or overseas such as Vivian Richards, Allan Border

, Craig McDermott
and Ian Healy

led Queensland to their inaugural Sheffield Shield
win.
Since their breakthrough win, Queensland has enjoyed a golden era winning the competition a further five times (including three consecutive seasons from 1999/2000 to 2001/02) and also finishing as runners-up five times. Their most recent title, a victory over the Victorian Bushrangers
in 2005–06 saw the Bulls post a massive first innings score of 6–900 and eventually win by a record margin of an innings and 354 runs. Since a final was introduced to the Sheffield Shield competition in the 1982/83 cricket season the Queensland Bulls have contested 16 out of 26 finals. Since Tasmania were admitted in 1977/78, the Bulls have finished in sixth (i.e. last) just twice.
