'''Brad Andrew Williams''' (born [[20 November]] [[1974]] in [[City of Frankston|Frankston]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]]) is an [[Australia]]n [[cricket]]er.
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>
