Text on reverse reads:
"In an era of Great one-day players, A.B. is the greatest. He is always in the play and Queensland will benefit by having him available for a full season. Arguably the most dangerous fieldsman playing the game. Largely under-bowled through his career. His gentle left-arm spinners have claimed many famous scalps in limited-over games.
