Illustrated front cover from The Queenslander, 29 November 1928

from State Library of Queensland

amasterman said:
Great cover. Looking at scorecards from around that date I suspect the batsman is supposed to be Queensland's Roy Higgins, who was bowled for a duck in the second innings of the MCC's tour match at the Brisbane Exhibition Ground in November 1928.
Vesna Verencevic said:
The cover was illustrated by the artist Garnet Agnew. He was an illustrator for 'The Brisbane Courier and its weekly magazine, 'The Queenslander Illustrated Weekly', creating cover illustrations for these publications between 1926 and 1930. His other mediums included oils, watercolor, and lino-cuts. Agnew painted murals on the walls of the West Coast Hotel in Cooktown. Source: catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/489300

This illustration could be related to Sir Don Bradman - The greatest duck in cricket history and missing out on an average of 100. Source: sportslumo.com/cricket/sir-don-bradman-the-greatest-duck-...

Boys cricket team ca. 1895

Vesna Verencevic said:
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. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensland_cricket_team#:~:text=Fre....
