James Antony Brayshaw (born 11 May 1967) is a former state cricketer and now Australian radio presenter. As a cricketer he was known as Jamie Brayshaw. He is the son of former Western Australian cricketer and Australian rules footballer Ian Brayshaw and the brother of Mark Brayshaw, a former player for the AFL club North Melbourne. James is Angus Brayshaw's uncle. He has recently relinquished his position as Chairman of the North Melbourne Football Club, in accordance with its constitution, and was the Chairman of the Melbourne Renegades cricket team from 2011 to 2015.
Playing for South Australia and Western Australia, he had a career spanning almost a decade. In that time he was a consistent fielder, with 43 catches. Not only is James a two time Sheffield shield winner, this achievement is more remarkable as he completed the feat with two states, that happened to occur on the team's respective home grounds. In the 1987/1988 final, James won with Western Australia at the WACA and in the 1995/1996 final James won with South Australia at Adelaide Oval. James would continue to play domestic cricket for one more season, before retiring at 30 years of age.
Playing in the 1995/1996 Sheffield Shield final (South Australia v Western Australia) at Adelaide Oval, James performed solidly with the bat, scoring 87 (run out) in the first innings and 66 (caught and bowled off Brad Hogg) in the second innings. Both teams in the final, fielded high quality players and who represented Australia at various levels, and some would go on to coach at state and national levels. West Australia fielded players including Michael Hussey, Justin Langer, Tom Moody, Damien Martyn, Adam Gilchrist, Joe Angel, Brad Hogg and Brendon Julian. While South Australia fielded players inlucding Greg Blewett, Darren Lehmann, Tim Neilsen, Tim May and Jason Gillespie. Unfortunately, for the West Australian side the match ended in a draw, with a respectable performance from Adam Gilchrist 189 (not out) in the first innings, and as a consequence James and his South Australian teammates were the 1995/1996 Sheffield Shield premiers.
