James Brayshaw
James Antony Brayshaw (born 11 May 1967) is an Australian media personality and retired cricketer working in television for the Seven Network and radio for Triple M. For Seven Sport, he hosts and calls Test cricket during summer and Australian Football League during winter.
Brayshaw worked for the Nine Network for 15 years, calling AFL, cricket and co-hosting The Footy Show with Garry Lyon.
As a cricketer, he was known as Jamie Brayshaw. He is a former chairman of the North Melbourne Football Club, serving from 2008 to 2016. From 2011 to 2015, he was chairman of the Melbourne Renegades cricket team.
In September 2022, Brayshaw was made a life member of the North Melbourne Football Club.
Like his father Ian Brayshaw, James Brayshaw played domestic cricket for Western Australia and then South Australia; Brayshaw had a career spanning almost a decade. In that time he was a consistent fielder, with 43 catches. Brayshaw is a two-time Sheffield Shield winner; this achievement was completed with two different states. In the 1987/1988 final, Brayshaw won with Western Australia, who defeated Queensland by 5 wickets. Brayshaw scored 24 off 104 balls and 4 off 8 balls; he also had the rare but dubious distinction of being caught by two international Test captains, with Allan Border in the first innings and Ian Botham in the second innings. The other Shield was in the 1995/1996 final, where he won with South Australia in a draw against his former state. Brayshaw performed solidly with the bat for the Redbacks, scoring 87 in the first innings and 66 in the second innings.
He would continue to play domestic cricket for one more season, retiring at 30 years of age to focus on his media career. He also played at first-class level for Australia A, but, due to Australian Cricket enjoying a successful era and many batsmen considered to be ahead of him, Brayshaw wasn't really in contention for a baggy green cap.
Following his retirement from cricket in 1996, Brayshaw worked for the Seven Network in Adelaide. This included being a sports reporter for Seven Nightly News and working on local football discussion programs, including Footy Plus. In early 1998, he was teamed up with Amanda Blair and Paul Gale on Adelaide's SAFM, which eventually became the city's number-one rated breakfast show.
In 2001, his big break came as the host of the Seven's coverage of 2001 Ashes with Jeff Thomson, but he later moved to the Nine Network when the Australian Football League was transferred from Seven, becoming a commentator on Sunday, mainly with Brian Taylor, Garry Lyon and Dennis Cometti. He eventually became involved behind the microphone in Nine's cricket coverage. In 2005, Brayshaw co-hosted Any Given Sunday with Garry Lyon and Sam Newman. Brayshaw joined radio station Triple M in 2002 as a commentator in its AFL coverage. He also worked as a full-time co-host on breakfast program The Cage before it was axed in 2007 due to high costs and poor ratings. Previously, he had been part of the Melbourne-based version of the show via his home studio in the Adelaide Hills.[citation needed]
