EspañolJAMES BRAYSHAW
'James Antony Brayshaw' (born May 11, 1967 in Subiaco, Western Australia) is a former state cricketer and now Australian television and radio personality. 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 Kangaroos AFL player. He is currently serving as a Director on the Board of the North Melbourne Football Club.
Playing for South Australia and Western Australia, he had a career spanning almost a decade. In that time, he was a very good batsman, with a first-class batting average of 42.53.
In the 1990s, Brayshaw worked for the Seven Network in Adelaide. This included being a substitute sports anchor for the Seven Nightly News bulletin and working on local football discussion programs, such as ''Footy Plus''. In early 1998 James was teamed up with Amanda Blair and Paul Gale on Adelaide's SAFM, which eventually became that city's number one rating breakfast show. One memorable on-air incident at SAFM saw him covered in Adelaide bodypaint after the club he supports, North Melbourne, lost the 1998 AFL Grand Final.
In 2001 his big break came as the host of the Seven Network's Ashes (cricket) action with Jeff Thomson, but later moved to the Nine network when the AFL were transferred. He became the nightly anchor for the ''National Nine News'' sport report, as well as contributing to other sports programs on the network, eventually becoming a regular commentator in both football and cricket coverage. In 2005, Brayshaw co-hosted ''Any Given Sunday'' with Garry Lyon and Sam Newman.
In 2006, Brayshaw (along with Garry Lyon) replaced Eddie McGuire as host of ''The Footy Show'', a position he currently holds. Additionally, he co-hosted the morning sessions of the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games with Lyon. Apart from his television commitments, he works for radio station Triple M, as a host and commentator of their Australian rules football coverage, as well as a full-time co-host on breakfast program The Cage. Previously he has been part of the Melbourne-based show via his home studio in the Adelaide Hills.
★ In a tragic accident on September 20, 2006, his sister Sally was killed instantly after the facade of her garage collapsed on top of her.[1].
★ Brayshaw and his wife, Sarah (often referred to as 'Mrs B'), have three sons (Jonathan, Henry and George) and are currently expecting their fourth child.
