Ian James Brayshaw (born 14 January 1942) is a former Australian sportsman. He played both Australian rules football and cricket. Both his sons,Mark and James,were noted athletes in their respective sports,and three of his grandsons have been members of AFL squads.
He played Australian rules football at a high level,winning a premiership with Claremont in the Western Australian Football League (WAFL),but is best known for his cricket career.
A right-handed all-rounder,Brayshaw played over 100 first-class games for Western Australia,and he captained the side on several occasions. Against Victoria during the 1967–68 Sheffield Shield season,he accomplished one of cricket's rarest feats,taking ten wickets in an innings. [1] [2] He is the most recent Australian to do so,as of June 2024. [1]
Brayshaw later worked in the media with ABC and Channel Ten in Western Australia. He was the expert commentator on ABC Radio when Trevor Chappell bowled the infamous underarm ball during a one-day match between Australia and New Zealand.
Brayshaw has co-authored several sporting books,including The ABC of Cricket;The Black Pearl:No Regrets;Caught Marsh,Bowled Lillee:The Legend Lives On;The Elements of Cricket;and Round The Wicket:A Selection of Cricket Stories. [3] In 2021,he self-published his first novel,a romance novel entitled Terms of Repayment. [4] [5] [6]
Brayshaw is the father of James Brayshaw,a former state cricketer with Western Australia and South Australia,media personality on Seven Network,and former chairman of the North Melbourne Football Club;and Mark Brayshaw,a former Claremont and North Melbourne footballer. Mark's sons Angus,Andrew and Hamish have all been on AFL squads,with the latter being delisted at the end of the 2020 AFL season.
In an accident on 20 September 2006,his 36-year-old daughter Sally was killed instantly after the facade of her garage collapsed on top of her. [7] [8]
The WACA Ground is a sports stadium in Perth,Western Australia. The stadium's name derives from the initials of its owners and operators,the Western Australian Cricket Association (WACA).
Rodney William Marsh was an Australian professional cricketer who played as a wicketkeeper for the Australian national team. He was a part of the Australian squad which finished as runners-up at the 1975 Cricket World Cup.
Jeffrey Robert Thomson is a former Australian cricketer. Known as "Thommo",he is one of the fastest bowlers in the history of cricket;he bowled a delivery with a speed of 160.6 km/h against the West Indies in Perth in 1975,which was the fastest recorded delivery at the time,and the fourth-fastest recorded delivery of all time. He was a part of the Australian squad which finished as runners-up at the 1975 Cricket World Cup.
Ian David Craig was an Australian cricketer who represented the Australian national team in 11 Tests between 1953 and 1958. A right-handed batsman,Craig holds the records for being the youngest Australian to make a first-class double century,appear in a Test match,and captain his country in a Test match. Burdened by the public expectation of being the "next Bradman",Craig's career did not fulfil its early promise. In 1957,he was appointed Australian captain,leading a young team as part of a regeneration plan following the decline of the national team in the mid-1950s,but a loss of form and illness forced him out of the team after one season. Craig made a comeback,but work commitments forced him to retire from first-class cricket at only 26 years of age.
Ian William Geddes Johnson,was an Australian cricketer who played 45 Test matches as a slow off-break bowler between 1946 and 1956. Johnson captured 109 Test wickets at an average of 29.19 runs per wicket and as a capable lower order batsman made 1,000 runs at an average of 18.51 runs per dismissal. He captained the Australian team in 17 Tests,winning seven and losing five,with a further five drawn. Despite this record,he is better known as the captain who lost consecutive Ashes series against England. Urbane,well-spoken and popular with his opponents and the public,he was seen by his teammates as a disciplinarian and his natural optimism was often seen as naive.
Damien William Fleming is an Australian cricket commentator and former cricketer who played for the Australian national cricket team and domestic cricket for Victoria. He played in 20 Tests and 88 ODIs from 1994 to 2001 and was part of the all-conquering Australian teams under Steve Waugh and Mark Taylor. In recent years Fleming has spent time refining his theory of Bowlology,a set of scientific coaching principles to help developing bowlers. Fleming was a part of the Australian team that won the 1999 Cricket World Cup.
Ashley Alexander Mallett was an Australian cricketer who played in 38 Tests and 9 One Day Internationals between 1968 and 1980. Until Nathan Lyon,he was Australia's most successful off spin bowler since World War II. He extracted a lot of bounce from his high arm action,coupled with his height. He was a part of the Australian squad which finished as runners-up at the 1975 Cricket World Cup.
Ian Meckiff is a former cricketer who represented Australia in 18 Test matches between 1957 and 1963. A left-arm fast bowler,he is best known for two matters that were unrelated to his skill as a player:he was the batsman run out by Joe Solomon in 1960,causing the first Tied Test in cricket history;and in December 1963,his career was sensationally ended when he was called for throwing in the First Test against South Africa by Australian umpire Col Egar. During the late 1950s and early 1960s,there had been a media frenzy about the perceived prevalence of illegal bowling actions in world cricket. The controversy and speculation that dogged Meckiff in the years preceding his final match caused sections of the cricket community to believe that he had been made a scapegoat by the Australian cricket authorities to prove their intent to stamp out throwing.

From Perth,both of McEvoy's matches at first-class level came during that season's Sheffield Shield. Serving as a middle-order replacement for Derek Chadwick,his debut came against New South Wales in December 1966. In the match,played at the WACA Ground,he scored 28 runs in the first innings,putting on a 68-run partnership with Ian Brayshaw for the sixth wicket,but was dismissed a duck in the second innings. McEvoy's form was sufficient to gain selection in the next Sheffield Shield match,against Queensland later that month. He scored 12 runs in Western Australia's only innings,with Colin Milburn,John Inverarity,and Murray Vernon all making centuries in the team's win by an innings and 118 runs. Despite being only 20 years old at the time of his debut,McEvoy did not play at state level again,although he did play several matches for state colts teams in the following seasons.
