Celebrating the 150^th year of Queensland cricket comes a 400-page tribute to the outstanding players and teams by Adam Burnett, who writes:

‘I took a fresh approach to exploring the past and present of the Bulls, Fire and Heat, and so many outstanding players who have been heroes of the game, past and present.

‘There was a genuine enthusiasm for a coffee table style book featuring fresh, detailed interviews and high-quality illustrations.

‘The book encompasses both a broad history and detailed player profiles of QC’s greatest living players – all accompanied by arresting portrait images.

‘Across almost 100 new interviews, there were multi-highlights:

• Greg Chappell, Allan Border and Ian Healy among those to share the plight of Queensland’s teams across the generations;
• The behind-the-scenes Shield final stories from Stuart Law and James Hopes;
• Reflecting on the evolution of Queensland cricket with pioneers from Ken Archer to Jodie Purves and Julia Price;
• And hearing what the game – and life – was like for esteemed cricketers such as Ross Duncan and Geoff Dymock through to Martin Love, Chris Lynn, Wade Seccombe and Beth Mooney.’

Substantial and chunky – at around A4 size – the book also includes forewords by QC’s CEO Terry Svenson and Chair Kirsten Pike.
