Bradley James Haddin (born October 23, 1977 in Cowra, New South Wales) is an Australian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman who also specialises as a wicket-keeper.

He was selected in the first ever Mercantile Mutual Cup season of 1997/98 for the Australian Capital Territory. He has produced several memorable batting innings, including a top score of 133 against Victoria.

He has become a replacement for Adam Gilchrist on several occasions, following Gilchrist's suffering of a hip injury. In September 2003, he replaced Simon Katich as captain of the New South Wales Blues, whilst Katich was on international duty, and he since been acting-captain on numerous occasions. He has also captained Australia A.

On 18 September 2006, playing against West Indies at Kuala Lumpur in the DLF Cup, Haddin and Australian captain Mike Hussey put on 165, which at that time was a world-record stand for the sixth wicket in ODIs.^[1]

Haddin replaced Adam Gilchrist in both the Australian Test and ODI sides. Gilchrist announced his retirement from the test team after the series against India (ending January 2008).^[2] He will also retire from ODI competition subsequent to the Summer 2007/08 tri-series.

Haddin has averaged over 50 with the bat in the past three and a half domestic seasons, and so is considered a like for like replacement for Gilchrist, as a player who could hold his side in the team on his batting alone with the added advantage of keeping wicket.
