Trevor Barsby

An aggressive opening batsman, Trevor Barsby scored a century in Queensland's maiden Sheffield Shield win in 1994-95 and bowed out with another in the state's second victory two seasons later. Unafraid to attack with lofted drives or hooks, Barsby was a pain for opposition bowlers over 12 seasons in which he played 111 first-class games. He finished with 15 hundreds and a reputation as a valued senior player at the beginning of the Bulls' long streak of success. After working as a sales manager for a wine company in retirement, he was appointed Queensland's talent development manager in 2004. A year later he graduated to the Queensland Academy of Sport's coaching role and in 2008 succeeded Terry Oliver as the state's main mentor.
