James Brayshaw

Brayshaw worked for the Nine Network for 15 years, calling AFL, cricket and co-hosting The Footy Show with Garry Lyon.

He would continue to play domestic cricket for one more season, retiring at 30 years of age to focus on his media career.

He also played at first-class level for Australia A, but, due to Australian Cricket enjoying a successful era and many batsmen considered to be ahead of him, Brayshaw wasn't really in contention for a baggy green cap.

In early 1998, he was teamed up with Amanda Blair and Paul Gale on Adelaide's SAFM, which eventually became the city's number-one rated breakfast show.

[3] In 2001, his big break came as the host of the Seven's coverage of 2001 Ashes with Jeff Thomson, but he later moved to the Nine Network when the Australian Football League was transferred from Seven, becoming a commentator on Sunday, mainly with Brian Taylor, Garry Lyon and Dennis Cometti.

He also worked as a full-time co-host on breakfast program The Cage before it was axed in 2007 due to high costs and poor ratings.

[citation needed] In 2006, Brayshaw (along with Garry Lyon) replaced Eddie McGuire as host of The AFL Footy Show, a position he held until the end of 2016.

[7] In July 2018, it was announced that Brayshaw would host and commentate for Seven Sport's coverage of Test cricket and the Big Bash League.

From 2021, Brayshaw joined Brian Taylor in calling Friday night matches, replacing Bruce McAvaney who stepped down from Seven's AFL commentary team.

[9] In addition to his work with Seven, Brayshaw currently co-hosts The Rush Hour on Triple M Melbourne with Billy Brownless.
