Bracken secures small win over Cricket Australia Bracken wants people to 'Enjoy themselves' Former Australian Test bowler Nathen Bracken who is running as an Independent for the NSW central coast seat of Dobell, shares his thoughts. As he tries to convince the good citizens of Dobell to vote for him in next month's Federal election, former Test bowler Nathan Bracken has won a small victory in the other battle he's engaged in - his ongoing legal action against Cricket Australia. A day after announcing his shock candidacy for the central coast seat, backed by millionaire ad man John Singleton, Bracken has secured the right to freely access a tranche of confidential documents from Cricket Australia as part of his injury compensation case against the body. Bracken is suing Cricket Australia in the NSW Supreme Court for failing in its duty of care to protect him from long-term damage as a result of a knee injury. Nathan Bracken has secured the right to freely access confidential documents from Cricket Australia. The 35-year-old says Cricket Australia failed to give him competent medical advice about the knee injury, which effectively ended his career, and is seeking compensation for lost wages, potential earnings in lucrative overseas Twenty20 tournaments and sponsorship deals. With the injury compensation case still in its pre-trial stages, Bracken accused Cricket Australia of trying to stymie his claim against it by refusing to release 81 documents, including player and medical staff contracts, unless he agreed to tough confidentiality rules. Bracken's lawyers challenged the move in court, and on Tuesday court registrar Christopher Bradford upheld their claim, granting Bracken unfettered access to all of the documents. Registrar Bradford rejected Cricket Australia's argument that the documents - which include contracts involving current players and at least two of the three medical staff responsible for treating Bracken - should be subject to special confidentiality rules because of the damage done to the body if they fell into the hands of competitors. He found that the existing rules governing the release of such documents were sufficient, particularly given that Cricket Australia had a virtual monopoly over the running of the game in Australia. "Clearly cricket has substantially changed in Australia in recent years," Registrar Bradford said in his reasons for judgment. But Cricket Australia effectively runs and controls the game in this country and specifically with respect to professional players. It does not really have a competitor. The registrar ordered Cricket Australia to pay Bracken's legal costs. The civil claim will return to court for a brief mention on Wednesday.
