(born television host
Andy G , which he is thus nicknamed.
A left arm
Fast Bowler , Bracken made his debut for his state in the
1998 -
1999 season after attending the
Commonwealth Bank Cricket Academy the year before. Tall and capable of
Swinging the ball both ways, Bracken quickly established himself in domestic cricket.
In the
2000 -
2001 season Bracken made his debut for
Australia in a
One Day International match against
West Indies and established himself as a regular member of that squad, but a shoulder injury in 2001 saw him lose his place until the
2003 World Cup in
South Africa .
Due to a wealth of fast bowling talent in Australia, Bracken has only just become a regular fixture in the Australian team; especially since the omission of
Jason Gillespie and
Michael Kasprowicz . He has played five
Test matches though, his debut coming in December
2003 versus
India in
Brisbane . Despite a strong showing during the 2005/2006 ODI season, he was not selected to tour South Africa for the Test series starting in March 2006.
He has established himself as one the top fast bowlers in Australian state cricket, and in December
2004 took the remarkable figures of 7 for 4 in a
Pura Cup game against
South Australia in
Sydney , figures that have rarely been bettered in the history of first-class cricket around the world.
Bracken is currently one of twenty-five elite cricketers contracted to
Cricket Australia , being reinstated to the list in 2005 after being dropped the previous year.
