Bradley James Haddin was born 23 October 1977 in Cowra, New South Wales. He is an Australian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper. Haddin was selected in the first ever Mercantile Mutual Cup season of 1997–98 for the Canberra Comets, with whom he began his professional cricketing career. In the 1999–2000 seasons, he began playing for the New South Wales Blues in order to pursue further cricketing opportunities. Since then, he has produced several memorable batting innings, including a top score of 133 against Victoria. Brad Haddin displayed impressive courage during his opening Test series in the West Indies when he played through the pain of a broken finger and by the end of his first year was one of the national teamS-B-Cs most important assets. He was indispensable, shuffling around the one-day order, proving himself as a productive Test run-maker and slowly improving on his glovework.
