He captained the [[West Indian U-19 cricket team|West Indies U-19]] team, but his senior debut came two months before his 30th birthday, when he was selected to play in the last three [[One Day International]]s of the seven-match series against [[English cricket team|England]]. After taking five wickets in the three matches, he bcame a permanent fixture.<ref name=StatsGuruFilter1>[http://statserver.cricket.org/guru?sdb=player;playerid=10451;class=odiplayer;filter=basic;team=0;opposition=0;notopposition=0;season=0;homeaway=0;continent=0;country=0;notcountry=0;groundid=0;startdefault=2004-05-01;start=2004-05-01;enddefault=2006-05-26;end=2006-05-26;tourneyid=0;finals=0;daynight=0;toss=0;scheduledovers=0;scheduleddays=0;innings=0;result=0;followon=0;seriesresult=0;captain=0;keeper=0;dnp=1;recent=;viewtype=aro_list;runslow=;runshigh=;batposition=0;dismissal=0;bowposition=0;ballslow=;ballshigh=;bpof=0;overslow=;overshigh=;conclow=;conchigh=;wicketslow=;wicketshigh=;dismissalslow=;dismissalshigh=;caughtlow=;caughthigh=;caughttype=0;stumpedlow=;stumpedhigh=;csearch=;submit=1;.cgifields=viewtype Statsguru - IDR Bradshaw - ODIs - Innings by innings list], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> In September 2004, Bradshaw won the [[2004 ICC Champions Trophy|2004 Champions Trophy]] with [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]], his only one-day title to date, and Bradshaw was named Man of the Match in the final. He made his Test debut in March 2006, taking three wickets in each innings against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]], and played five matches before being dropped in June. ==Breaking through== Bradshaw captained West Indies U-19 during their tour of England in [[1993 English cricket season|1993]], playing three youth Tests and two One-day Internationals.<ref>[http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/10/10325/10325.html Ian Bradshaw], from CricketArchive, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> However, as he failed to impress the national selectors of Barbados enough to get [[first class cricket|first class]] time for Barbados before January 1998, he was also out of the regional selectors' thoughts, even though he captained [[Barbadian cricket team|Barbados]] from [[2000-01 West Indian cricket season|2000–01]] onwards. In January 2004, Bradshaw was named in West Indies' 15-man ODI squad which played [[South African cricket team|South Africa]], as "reward for good performances during the [[Red Stripe Bowl]]",<ref>[http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/137518.html West Indies name one-day squad], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> where Bradshaw had taken five [[wicket]]s for 22 [[run (cricket)|runs]] to be named Man of the Match in the semi-final.<ref>[http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/78/78199.html Barbados v Trinidad and Tobago in 2003/04], from CricketArchive, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> However, Bradshaw did not play a single match, returning to [[Carib Beer Cup]] cricket to take six wickets in the Carib Beer Challenge final, where Barbados beat Jamaica.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2003-04/WI_LOCAL/CARIB/SCORECARDS/FINAL/BDOS_JAM_CARIB-FINAL_25-28MAR2004.html Final: Barbados v Jamaica at Barbados (Crab Hill), 25-28 Mar 2004], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> He was given another ODI selection in April 2004,<ref>[http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/134370.html Chanderpaul returns for ODI series], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[13 April]] [[2004]]</ref> against [[English cricket team|England]] in a 7-match series, but Bradshaw was not selected for the first four games, before taking two wickets as West Indies won the fifth match of the series by five wickets on debut at [[Beausejour Stadium]].<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2003-04/ENG_IN_WI/SCORECARDS/ENG_WI_ODI5_01MAY2004.html 5th ODI: West Indies v England at St Lucia, 1 May 2004], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> Bradshaw ended with five wickets for the series, and his [[economy rate]] of 5.50 is still the highest of his career to date.<ref>[http://statserver.cricket.org/guru?sdb=player;playerid=10451;class=odiplayer;filter=basic;team=0;opposition=0;notopposition=0;season=0;homeaway=0;continent=0;country=0;notcountry=0;groundid=0;startdefault=2004-05-01;start=2004-05-01;enddefault=2006-05-26;end=2006-05-26;tourneyid=0;finals=0;daynight=0;toss=0;scheduledovers=0;scheduleddays=0;innings=0;result=0;followon=0;seriesresult=0;captain=0;keeper=0;dnp=1;recent=;runslow=;runshigh=;batposition=0;dismissal=0;viewtype=bow_series;bowposition=0;ballslow=;ballshigh=;bpof=0;overslow=;overshigh=;conclow=;conchigh=;wicketslow=;wicketshigh=;dismissalslow=;dismissalshigh=;caughtlow=;caughthigh=;caughttype=0;stumpedlow=;stumpedhigh=;csearch=;submit=1;.cgifields=viewtype Statsguru - IDR Bradshaw - ODI Bowling - Series averages], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> Bradshaw was retained for the three-match series with Bangladesh, winning the Man of the Match award after bowling figures of 10–4–11–2, the most economical of his ODI career,<ref name=StatsGuruFilter1/> and an unbeaten 12 as West Indies won by one wicket. He ended with five wickets at a [[bowling average]] of 9.60 for the series, thus ending third in the wicket-taking tally for the series behind [[Tino Best]] and [[Tapash Baisya]].<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2004/BDESH_IN_WI/STATS/BDESH_IN_WI_MAY-JUN2004_ODI_AVS.html Bangladesh in West Indies, 2004 One-Day Series Averages], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> ==2004 in England== [[West Indian cricket team|West Indies]] played 11 ODIs in England in 2004, and Bradshaw played in every single one save for a rained off match at [[The Rose Bowl, Southampton|Southampton]] against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]]. The first seven matches were during the [[NatWest Series 2004|NatWest Series]], where West Indies finished second after losing the final by 107 runs. Bradshaw opened with no wickets in a no result against New Zealand, then removed both England openers with his first seven balls at [[Trent Bridge]] in a seven-wicket win, before failing to take a wicket through the 32 overs in the remaining four matches. Bradshaw's bowling average of 85.50 was the highest by any West Indian in the series, but his [[economy rate]] of 3.71 was the best by a West Indian, and only beaten by [[Chris Cairns]] among bowlers with more than 10 overs in the tournament.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2004/OD_TOURNEYS/NWS/STATS/NWS_JUN-JUL2004_ODI_BOWL_BEST_ECON.html NatWest Series, 2004 Best Bowling Economy Rate], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> Bradshaw was retained for the [[2004 ICC Champions Trophy|2004 Champions Trophy]], taking three wickets in the opening group, which West Indies won by beating [[Bangladeshi cricket team|Bangladesh]] and [[South African cricket team|South Africa]]. He also removed [[Salman Butt]] for a two-ball [[duck (cricket)|duck]] in the seven-wicket semi-final win over Pakistan. However, it was in the final that he, along with wicket-keeper [[Courtney Browne]], made headlines<ref>[http://www.hindu.com/2004/09/27/stories/2004092702561700.htm Bradshaw & Browne script incredible win] by Vijay Lokapally, The Hindu, [[27 September]] [[2004]]</ref><ref>[http://usa.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/CRICKET_NEWS/2004/SEP/055465_ICCCT2004_25SEP2004.html Browne and Bradshaw steal a thriller], by Andrew Miller, Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> West Indies had bowled England out for 217, with Bradshaw taking the wickets of [[Vikram Solanki]] and [[Michael Vaughan]], but conceding the most runs of all West Indian bowlers with 54. With more than 15 overs left, Bradshaw joined [[Courtney Browne]] at the crease, with West Indies at 147 for eight and needing nearly half that score, 71, from the two last partnerships to win the game and the Champions Trophy. Bradshaw and Browne saw off the England fast bowlers of [[Steve Harmison]], [[Andrew Flintoff]], and [[Darren Gough]] in "dubious light"<ref>[http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/233573.html Wisden - 2005 - England v West Indies], retrieved from Cricinfo on [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref>, knocking off the required runs with seven balls to spare, thus giving West Indies their first major one-day title since the [[1979 Cricket World Cup|1979 World Cup]].<ref>[http://sify.com/sports/cricket/fullstory.php?id=13575295 Browne, Bradshaw end Windies' 25-year wait], from sify.com, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> Bradshaw's 34 [[not out]] along with his two wickets, made him Man of the Match, despite partner Browne making one more run and [[Wavell Hinds]] taking one more wicket with three for 24. ==Established cricketer== After playing for Barbados and reaching the semi-final of the West Indies' regional one-day tournament in [[2004-05 West Indian cricket season|2004–05]], Bradshaw was selected for the [[VB Series]] in Australia. Though Bradshaw was the leading wicket-taker for West Indies, with nine wickets in six games,<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2004-05/OD_TOURNEYS/VBS/STATS/VBS_JAN-FEB2005_ODI_AVS_WI.html VB Series, 2004-05 West Indies Averages], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> including three wickets in the final group stage game against [[Pakistani cricket team|Pakistan]] when a win would have seen the West Indies through to the final stages. However, though Bradshaw took three for 47 from his ten overs, Pakistan totalled 307 for eight, and Bradshaw was called in to bat with 51 required off 37 balls. His innings was not a repeat of the Champions Trophy effort, however, as he was [[bowled]] by [[Naved-ul-Hasan]] for a four-ball duck; West Indies lost by 30 runs as they were bowled out with eleven balls to spare. During the series, Bradshaw injured his [[heel]] and was out of cricket for a fortnight, missing [[Carib Beer Series]] matches in domestic cricket.<ref>[http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/144485.html Injured players to miss Carib Beer matches], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> Bradshaw continued to be an ODI specialist, playing all eight home ODIs (five against South Africa and three against Pakistan) during May 2005, and being on the losing side in all eight. His best performance in terms of bowling figures came in the rain-shortened second ODI at [[Sabina Park]], where Bradshaw removed [[Graeme Smith]] and [[Jacques Kallis]] in his first three overs, and ended up with conceding 16 runs in six overs. However, no other West Indies bowler took wickets, leading to an eight-wicket defeat.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2004-05/RSA_IN_WI/SCORECARDS/RSA_WI_ODI2_08MAY2005.html 2nd ODI: West Indies v South Africa at Kingston, 8 May 2005], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> Bradshaw was then selected for the 13-man Test squad to face [[Pakistani cricket team|Pakistan]],<ref>[http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/209795.html Lara recalled for Pakistan Tests], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> and was "expected to make his Test debut", but suffered a viral infection and missed the first Test before being selected in the squad for the second match.<ref>[http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/210185.html Best replaces Edwards for second Test], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> However, despite West Indies going in with four seam bowlers, they left Bradshaw out of the team. A contract squabble between the [[West Indies Player Association]] and the [[West Indies Cricket Board]] meant that several players, including Bradshaw, refused to sign contracts for the [[West Indian cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2005|2005 tour of Sri Lanka]]<ref>[http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/slvwi/content/story/212349.html West Indies name second-string squad], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref>, and Bradshaw did thus not feature in the [[Indian Oil Cup 2005|Indian Oil Cup]] ODI tournament during this tour. ==Test debut== He thus got a break from international cricket until February 2006, as West Indies' [[West Indian cricket team in Australia in 2005-06|November 2005 tour of Australia]] only included Tests. Bradshaw played all matches on the February and March [[West Indian cricket team in New Zealand in 2005-06|tour of New Zealand]], however: one Twenty20 International, where he bowled the final over with New Zealand requiring 17 to win, conceding 16 to set up a [[bowl-out]],<ref>[http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/237325.html A tie ... but New Zealand win bowl-out], by Martin Williamson, Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> five ODIs, and three Tests. Once again, Bradshaw was West Indies' leading wicket-taker in the ODI series, this time shared with [[Dwayne Smith]],<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2005-06/WI_IN_NZ/STATS/WI_IN_NZ_FEB-MAR2006_ODI_AVS.html West Indies in New Zealand, 2005-06 One-Day Series Averages], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> but with a better [[economy rate]] than Smith. His rate of 5.27, however, was bettered by six [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] bowlers as New Zealand won the series 4–1. Bradshaw then made his Test debut at [[Eden Park]], taking six wickets for 156 runs in the match, the second best bowling figures behind [[Chris Gayle]], but New Zealand still prevailed by 27 runs after West Indies lost their way from 148 for nought to 263 all out, Bradshaw making 10 in an hour-long innings that was ended by him giving a catch to [[Stephen Fleming]] off [[Daniel Vettori]]. <ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2005-06/WI_IN_NZ/SCORECARDS/WI_NZ_T1_09-13MAR2006.html 1st Test: New Zealand v West Indies at Auckland, 9-13 Mar 2006], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> In the following two matches, Bradshaw took one wicket,<ref>[http://statserver.cricket.org/guru?sdb=player;playerid=10451;class=testplayer;filter=basic;team=0;opposition=0;notopposition=0;season=0;homeaway=0;continent=0;country=0;notcountry=0;groundid=0;startdefault=2006-03-09;start=2006-03-09;enddefault=2006-06-14;end=2006-06-14;tourneyid=0;finals=0;daynight=0;toss=0;scheduledovers=0;scheduleddays=0;innings=0;result=0;followon=0;seriesresult=0;captain=0;keeper=0;dnp=0;recent=;viewtype=aro_match;runslow=;runshigh=;batposition=0;dismissal=0;bowposition=0;ballslow=;ballshigh=;bpof=0;overslow=;overshigh=;conclow=;conchigh=;wicketslow=;wicketshigh=;dismissalslow=;dismissalshigh=;caughtlow=;caughthigh=;caughttype=0;stumpedlow=;stumpedhigh=;csearch=;submit=1;.cgifields=viewtype Statsguru - IDR Bradshaw - Tests - Match by match list], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> though West Indies didn't bowl in the final match, which was affected by rain. The returns were, however, good enough for the West Indies selectors to retain him for the home Test series against [[Indian cricket team|India]], though in the meantime Bradshaw had taken nine wickets in the first four ODIs against India, helping West Indies to a [[Indian cricket team in West Indies in 2006|4–1 win]]. Bradshaw was not in the XI for the final game, but still held a catch as [[substitute (cricket)|substitute fielder]].<ref>[http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/248656.html Lara seals hometown farewell 4-1], from Cricinfo, retrieved [[28 June]] [[2006]]</ref> Bradshaw then featured in the first two Tests against India, recording two wickets for 271 in two drawn games.
