John Garry Bracewell (born 15 April 1958) is a former New Zealand cricketer who was most recently the coach of the Irish national team.
[2] He holds the record for the longest ODI career without scoring a half-century or taking a three-wicket haul.
Moreover, Bracewell has opted for a "rotation" policy within his squad for determining team selections, meaning the batting line-up has been shuffled consistently between successive ODIs.
This has received criticism from local media who highlight that New Zealand Cricket is not currently afforded the luxury of a reserve pool of competitive international players, thus making the policy somewhat redundant.
Bracewell also controversially called Australian Fast-bowler Shaun Tait a 'chucker', and received a lot of criticism from the cricketing community.
