Despite Allan Border and Jeff Thomson moving to Queensland from Sydney, New South Wales, and despite Queensland having produced many outstanding cricketers over history - such as Ian Healy , Craig McDermott and Carl Rackemann - the state had never won the four-day national tournament (known at the time as the Sheffield Shield ) until Stuart Law led them to success in the 1994-95 season. Since that time, Queensland has been particularly strong in that competition and has continued to produce many talented players such as Matthew Hayden , Andrew Symonds , Michael Kasprowicz and Jimmy Maher . The Bulls went on to win the competition in the 1996-97 season and also won three consecutive seasons from late 1999 to early 2002. Their most recent title, a victory over the Victorian Bushrangers in 2005-06 saw the Bulls post a first innings score of 6-900 and eventually win by a record margin of an innings and 354 runs. The Queensland Bulls have also enjoyed reasonable success in the ING Cup tournament having won the title six times since the competition's commencement in the 1969-70 season. The side plays its home games at the Brisbane Cricket Ground . EXTERNAL LINKS
