Doug Bracewell
DOB: 28/09/1990
Playing Role: Lower order batsman
Batting Style: Right-hand bat
Bowling Style: Right-arm medium/fast

No one familiar with the Bracewell family dynasty would be at all surprised with the competitive edge the young right-armer brings to the team.  But not even father Brendon or uncle Doug could've foreseen his meteoric rise to leader of the Black Caps' Test attack and the first Kiwi bowler to better the Australians unstuck since Sir Richard Hadlee.  Twice in his first three Tests, Bracewell bowled his side to rare overseas Test victories; his 6 for 40 in Hobart clinching New Zealand's first win across the ditch in 25 years.  Tall and muscular, Bracewell consistently moves the ball in the air and off the pitch and never backs down from a confrontation.  Though his contributions with the bat have been minimal, there is the promise of all-round ability: Bracewell averages more than 20 in first class cricket with three fifites to his name.
