He is the son of former Test cricketer Brendon Bracewell. His uncle is also a former Black Caps player and coach John Bracewell.
Early days
[edit]Born in Tauranga, Bracewell was educated at Rathkeale College near Masterton.[1]
Domestic career
[edit]In 2008, Bracewell was selected in the New Zealand under-19 squad for their tour of England,[2] he played both ‘Tests’ and five ‘ODIs’.[3]
On 17 November 2008 he made his first-class cricket debut for Central Districts against Auckland, he was dismissed for a duck in the first innings before taking 1 wicket for 41 runs (1/41).[4] A month later he made his List A debut against the same opposition, he took 2/33 and as opening batsman scored 55.[5]
After making his international debuts in all three formats during the 2011–12 season Bracewell was drafted by Delhi Daredevils in the 2012 IPL draft.[6]
In June 2018, he was awarded a contract with Central Districts for the 2018–19 season.[7]
Bracewell signed to play for Essex in the 2023 County Championship,[8] he made eight appearances and took 24 wickets at 27.41.[9]
International career
[edit]Bracewell made his Test debut against Zimbabwe in November 2011, and took 5/85 in the second innings.[10] Bracewell became the seventh New Zealand bowler to pick up a five-wicket haul on Test debut. It is also the fifth five-wicket haul by a bowler making his debut against Zimbabwe.[11]
In a Test match against Australia at Bellerive Oval, Hobart Bracewell ran through the Australian batting line-up and took figures of 6/40 in only his third Test, the best bowling by a New Zealander in Tests in nearly 5 years. He bowled Nathan Lyon to seal the win by 7 runs. It was also 26 years since New Zealand last won a Test match in Australia.[12]
Having not played internationally since October 2016 due to injuries and drink-driving charges, he was picked for the first match of the ODI series against West Indies as Colin de Grandhomme returned to Zimbabwe on family bereavement leave.[13] In the first ODI against West Indies, he took 4 wickets in that match by restricting them below 250. New Zealand finally won that match by 5 wickets and Bracewell was awarded man of the match for his match winning performance.[14]
