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 making the final every year but three. 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 Victorian Bushrangers is an Australian cricket team based in Melbourne, that represents the state of Victoria. Since a final was introduced to the Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup competitions in the 1982/83 cricket season the Queensland Bulls have contested 16 out of 25 finals.
