Overview
The Cricket Centre was established in 1973 as a coaching and training centre in a large warehouse in Albion, Brisbane. Head coach at the time was Peter Philpott a former Australian leg spinner.
In 1977 Greg Chappell joined the Cricket Centre team whilst playing for Queensland and Australia and the centre was renamed to reflect his involvement. The annual catalogue has become a bible to cricketers worldwide, offering the biggest selection of the biggest brands.
