Bradley James Haddin (born October 23, 1977) is a former Australian cricketer, vice-captain and coach who represented Australia in all three forms of international cricket. He played domestically for New South Wales as a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper. Haddin was a member of the Australian World Cup winners squad at the 2015 Cricket World Cup and played for the Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League.

Domestic and Club Career

Haddin's family moved to Queanbeyan in 1989 when he was 12 and played for the Queanbeyan District Cricket Club Juniors until the age of 15 before joining the Australian National University Grade Cricket Club, which represented 1st grade at 16. Haddin was first selected for the 1997-98 Mercantile Mutual Cup season for the ACT Comets, with whom he began his professional cricket career. In the 1999-2000 season he began playing for the New South Wales Blues to pursue other cricket opportunities. Since then, he has produced several memorable punch innings, including a top score of 133 against Victoria. Haddin was signed by Chennai Super Kings at the 2010 IPL. In the 2011 Indian Premier League season, Haddin was signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders for $ 325,000.

International career

In September 2003, Haddin replaced Simon Katich as captain of New South Wales while Katich was in international service and has been acting captain on numerous occasions since. He was also the captain of Australia A. Haddin was Australia A wicketkeeper for most of his career but was called up as a backup wicketkeeper in the full roster in case Adam Gilchrist was injured or rested. He made his international debut in a one-day international match on January 30, 2001 against Zimbabwe in Hobart. He made a stump and did 13 runs. He was demoted from Australia's second wicket keeper by choice in 2001 by Wade Seccombe and later Ryan Campbell, but regained that position in late 2004. He was called up as part of the Australian Ashes roster in 2005 but was not used throughout the series.

On September 18, 2006, Haddin and Australian captain Mike Hussey played in Kuala Lumpur in Kuala Lumpur in the DLF Cup at 165, which at the time was a world record for the sixth wicket in ODIs. After Gilchrist's retirement in early 2008, Haddin finally made his Test debut on May 22nd against the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica, and became Australia's 400th Test cricketer.

Haddin retired from ODI cricket in May 2015 after the 2015 Cricket World Cup as part of the winning team. Haddin's testing career was quickly ended by head coach Lehmann in July during the 2015 Ashes series after missing the second test because of his sick daughter. His replacement Peter Nevill has been reported to hit and hold well in his debut Test. Former Australian wicket keeper Ian Healy described the decision as a "tough call".
