Football career

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.

Cricket career

A right-handed all-rounder, Brayshaw played over 100 first-class games for Western Australia, and captained the side on several occasions. Against Victoria during the 1967–68 Sheffield Shield season, he accomplished one of cricket's rarest feats, taking all ten wickets in an innings.[1][2] He is the most recent Australian to do so.

Media career

Brayshaw later worked in the media with the ABC and Channel Ten in Western Australia, as well as co-authoring sporting books. 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.

Family

Brayshaw is the father of James Brayshaw, a former state cricketer with Western Australia and South Australia, media personality on Nine Network and chairman of the North Melbourne Football Club, and Mark Brayshaw, a former Claremont and North Melbourne footballer. Mark's sons, Angus, Andrew and Hamish are all on AFL squads.
