Bracken also played five Tests, but was never able to cement his place in the side. The left-arm seamer shouldered New South Wales attack in his successful first-class career. <br /><br />The highlight of his career came when he was ranked the No 1 ODI bowler in 2008. The 33-year-old said recurring injuries forced him to quit. "I have enjoyed my cricket, but knee injuries have taken their toll," Bracken was quoted as saying by BBC Sport.u00a0 </p>
