Carl Gray Rackemann (born June 3 , 1960 , Wondai, Queensland ) is a former Queensland and Australian Cricketer . He was a Fast Bowler in 12 Tests , 52 ODIs and 167 First-class Cricket matches in a career spanning 1979-80 to 1995-96.

In the 2nd innings of the Test against New Zealand in Perth in 1989-90 he achieved the amazing figures of 31 overs, 21 maidens, 23 runs and 1 wicket. However, he was well known for being a poor Batsman , achieving only 53 runs off his 14 innings with a high score of 15.

A legend in Queensland cricket, Rackemann until recently held the record of 425 wickets until overtaken by Michael Kasprowicz .

After his playing career, he went on to the national coaching position for the Zimbabwean National Cricket Team for two seasons from 2000 . He has now returned to farming in Queensland.
