==Life and career==
Dorey was born in [[East Fremantle, Western Australia]]. He started his cricketing career playing for the Western Australian Under-17 and Under-19 sides. He later backpacked around Europe for two and half years. During this time he had an injury while snowboarding which nearly ruined his career. He moved to England, where he served as a bodyguard for the child of a Russian businessman.
Dorey was born in [[East Fremantle, Western Australia]]. He started his cricketing career playing for the Western Australian Under-17 and Under-19 sides during the late 1990s, before he travelled around Europe for two and half years. He suffered a terrible accident while [[snowboarding]] in [[Austria]]: after knocking himself out, Dorey was trying to navigate back to his base when he was cut off by a German whose skis sliced open his right knee. The wound required 14 stitches, and Dorey was worried his sporting career may be over.<ref name="acchero">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/256697.html |title=Accidental hero |publisher=Cricinfo |last=English |first=Peter |date=2006-08-18 |accessdate=2010-09-08}}</ref> During his time in Europe, he also served as a bodyguard for the children of a wealthy Russian businessman.<ref name="cricinfo">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/australia/content/player/5112.html |title=Player Profile: Brett Dorey |publisher=Cricinfo |accessdate=2010-09-08}}</ref>


Until his knee injury, Dorey had been planning to attempt to break into professional [[Australian rules football|football]] on his return to Australia, having previously played for [[South Fremantle Football Club|South Fremantle]].<ref name="acchero"/> Instead, he began playing professional cricket.

On his return to Australia he renewed his cricket career. After playing one and a half seasons for Western Australia and taking forty wickets, Dorey was selected for the Australian squad to play [[Sri Lanka]] and South Africa in the [[2006 VB Series]]. He debuted against South Africa in the [[Telstra Dome]] in [[Melbourne]]. However, he was dropped from the team midway through the ODI series, and has not been selected since.

Brett Raymond Dorey (born 3 October 1977) is an Australian former cricketer. He played four One Day Internationals (ODIs) for the Australia national cricket team in 2006, picking up two wickets. He played domestic first-class and one-day cricket for Western Australia from the 2004–05 to 2010–11 seasons.

Life and career

[edit]

Dorey was born in East Fremantle, Western Australia. He started his cricketing career playing for the Western Australian Under-17 and Under-19 sides during the late 1990s, before he travelled around Europe for two and half years. He suffered a terrible accident while snowboarding in Austria: after knocking himself out, Dorey was trying to navigate back to his base when he was cut off by a German whose skis sliced open his right knee. The wound required 14 stitches, and Dorey was worried his sporting career may be over.[1] During his time in Europe, he also served as a bodyguard for the children of a wealthy Russian businessman.[2]

Until his knee injury, Dorey had been planning to attempt to break into professional football on his return to Australia, having previously played for South Fremantle.[1] Instead, he began playing professional cricket. A string of injuries led to his call-up to the Western Australia state side during the 2004–05 season,[2] and he made his debut in the ING Cup against Victoria in November.[3] Later in the same month, he made his first-class debut, claiming one wicket during a draw against Queensland.[4] He claimed his maiden five-wicket haul in his third first-class match, finishing with 5/41 against the touring Pakistanis.[5] Dorey completed the 2004–05 season with 23 first-class wickets,[6] and 4 one-day wickets.[7]

The 2005–06 season saw Dorey improve on his figures from the previous season. During a Pura Cup match against the Queensland Bulls, he claimed seven wickets in an innings, finishing with 7/86,[8] his best return in first-class cricket.[6] His performances saw him selected as part of the Australian squad for the 2005–06 VB Series, with chairman of selectors Trevor Hohns saying "Brett is an exciting prospect who has good height and is able to generate good bounce. He has had solid results in domestic cricket and we want to have a look at him at the next level."[9] Dorey claimed his first international wicket on debut against South Africa, having Shaun Pollock caught off his bowling to return 1/51.[10] Dorey failed to claim wickets in either of his two other matches in the series, and was released from the Australian squad to return to Western Australia for their match against the New South Wales Blues.[11]

In the 2010–11 Sheffield Shield season, Dorey only played 4 games out of a possible 9, and at the end of it announced his retirement from professional cricket.[12]

Post-retirement life

[edit]

After retiring, Dorey worked in the offshore oil & gas industry. He also opened & owns a burger restaurant, Big Rigz Burger Co, in Fremantle.[13]
