Tall and slim in the Glenn McGrath/Bruce Reid mould, Bracken bowls a full length, moves the ball both ways and fitted easily into Australia's rampant one-day squad in 2000-01.
But a shoulder injury cut short his maiden Ashes tour in 2001 after just two matches and he was forced to spend a frustrating spell on the sidelines.
He returned to the national colours during the 2003 World Cup, when Jason Gillespie dropped out with a heel injury, but did not play a game.
However, with Glenn McGrath out of the series against India, he was handed a Test debut in Brisbane before being ruthlessly dropped in favour of Brad Williams.
