Brabon was a pace bowler who began his cricket career in Rockhampton playing for the Frenchville Falcons.[2] In 1978 he was first selected for the Queensland state team for a tour game against England and it was noted that he was one of only a handful of country cricketers to make it into the state team since 1958.[3] In his debut he dismissed Geoff Boycott for six with his eleventh delivery in first-class cricket which earned his team-mates a $1000 bonus that had been offered by the Queensland company PGH Ceramics if Boycott could be dismissed for less than twenty.[4]
After his debut Brabon was not reselected in the state team until late 1981 when he replaced Carl Rackemann who had suffered a shoulder injury.[5] Overall he took twelve wickets at an average of 34.75 for Queensland in five matches during the 1981/82 Sheffield Shield season and took three wickets at an average of 42.33 in three games during the List A cup however he did not play for Queensland again.[6][7]
