Playing in the 1995/1996 Sheffield Shield final (South Australia v Western Australia) at the Adelaide Oval, Brayshaw performed solidly with the bat, scoring 87 (run out) in the first innings and 66 (caught and bowled off Brad Hogg) in the second innings. Both teams fielded high quality players who have represented Australia at various levels. Some would go on to coach at state and national levels. West Australia fielded players including Michael Hussey, Justin Langer, Tom Moody, Damien Martyn, Adam Gilchrist, Jo Angel, Brad Hogg and Brendon Julian. While South Australia fielded players including Greg Blewett, Darren Lehmann, Tim Neilsen, Tim May and Jason Gillespie. The match ended in a draw, with a respectable performance from Adam Gilchrist 189 (not out) in the first innings, and as a consequence James and his South Australian teammates were the 1995/1996 Sheffield Shield premiers.
In an accident on 20 September 2006, his sister Sally was killed instantly after the facade of her garage collapsed on top of her.
In 2006, Brayshaw (along with Garry Lyon) replaced Eddie McGuire as host of The AFL Footy Show, a position he held until the end of 2016. Additionally, with Lyon he co-hosted the morning sessions of the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. Apart from his television commitments, he works for radio station Triple M, as a host and commentator of their Australian rules football coverage. He also worked as a full-time co-host on breakfast program The Cage before it was axed in 2007 and replaced with Pete & Myf. Previously he has been part of the Melbourne-based show via his home studio in the Adelaide Hills.
In the 1990s, Brayshaw worked for the Seven Network in Adelaide. This included being a substitute sports anchor for the Seven Nightly News bulletin and working on local football discussion programs, such as Footy Plus. In early 1998 he was teamed up with Amanda Blair and Paul Gale on Adelaide’s SAFM, which eventually became that city’s number one rating breakfast show. One on- air incident at SAFM saw him covered in Adelaide Football Club bodypaint after the club he supports, North Melbourne, lost the 1998 AFL Grand Final to them.
