He is a right arm [[fast bowler]] who made his [[First-class cricket|first-class]] debut for Victoria in the [[1994-95 Australian cricket season|1994–95 season]] as a nineteen year old. At the time he had raw speed and was widely tipped as a future star for the national team <ref>[http://content.cricinfo.com/australia/content/player/8231.html Cricinfo profile on Brad Williams]</ref>, although his debut for [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] didn't come until a [[One Day International]] match against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] in January 2001. Williams moved to [[Western Warriors|Western Australia]] for the [[1999-2000 Australian cricket season|1999–2000 season]] after struggling to hold down a regular spot in the Victorian team. On the bouncy [[WACA Ground|WACA]] pitch in [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]] he went on to his most successful domestic season, capturing 50 first-class wickets, leading to his national debut the following year. Williams had to wait until October 2003 for his [[Test cricket|Test]] debut but he struggled to hold down a regular spot in the national team, due in part to injuries. After taking five first class [[wicket]]s for the Warriors at a [[bowling average]] of 57 in the first three matches of the [[2005-06 Australian cricket season|2005–06 season]], he was dropped for the fourth game of the season against the [[Tasmanian Tigers]], and he reacted by storming out of the training session and withdrawing himself for the team to play the Tigers in an [[ING Cup]] [[one-day cricket|one-day]] match. That was viewed by the [[Western Australia Cricket Association]] as a breach of his playing contract, and Williams was suspended for the remainder of the season. When Western Australia announced their squad for the [[2006-07 Australian cricket season|2006/07 season]] he was the notable omission leaving his future cricket career in doubt.<ref>[http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/australia/content/story/251455.html Brad Williams dropped from Western Australia squad]</ref> == Teams == === International === *[[Australian cricket team|Australia]] === Australian state === *[[Western Warriors]] *[[Victorian Bushrangers]] === English county === *[[Durham County Cricket Club|Durham]] == Career highlights == === Tests === Test Debut: vs [[Zimbabwean cricket team|Zimbabwe]], [[Sydney]], [[2003]]-[[2004]]<br> Latest Test: vs [[Sri Lankan cricket team|Sri Lanka]], [[Colombo]], 2003-2004 *Williams' best Test batting score of 10 not out was made against [[Indian cricket team|India]], [[Melbourne]], 2003-2004 *His best Test bowling figures of 4 for 53 came against India, Melbourne, 2003-2004 === One-day Internationals === ODI Debut: vs [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]], Melbourne, [[2001]]-[[2002]]<br> Latest ODI: vs Zimbabwe, [[Harare]], 2004 *Williams' best ODI batting score of 13 not out was made against New Zealand, Melbourne, 2001-2002 *His best ODI bowling figures of 5 for 22 came against Zimbabwe, Sydney, 2003-2004 ==References== <references/> ==External links== *[http://www.howstat.com.au/cricket/Statistics/Players/PlayerOverview.asp?PlayerID=3006 HowSTAT! statistical profile on Brad Williams] *[http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/australia/content/story/227790.html Brad Williams suspended for remainder of season] {{Persondata |NAME=Williams, Brad Andrew |ALTERNATIVE NAMES= |SHORT DESCRIPTION=Cricketer |DATE OF BIRTH=[[20 November]] [[1974]] |PLACE OF BIRTH=[[Frankston, Victoria ]] |DATE OF DEATH= |PLACE OF DEATH= }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Williams, Brad}} [[Category:1974 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:Australian ODI cricketers]] [[Category:Australian Test cricketers]] [[Category:Durham cricketers]] [[Category:Victoria cricketers]] [[Category:Western Australia cricketers]] [[mr:ब्रॅड विल्यम्स]]
