Robert Lyttleton Lee Braddell (14 December 1888 in Malacca – 17 March 1965 in Sintra, Portugal) was an English cricketer, educated at Charterhouse and Oxford University. A right-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler, he played 20 first-class cricket matches, mostly for Oxford University.

Career

Whilst attending Oxford, Braddell made his first-class debut for their cricket team, playing against Lancashire in May 1908. His second first-class match the following year was against the university team, playing for the MCC. He also played for the university against Worcestershire the same year. In addition he played minor counties cricket for Suffolk during those two years.

In 1910, he played seven first-class matches for Oxford University, gaining his blue when he played against Cambridge University in July. He played seven more first-class matches for them the following year, including a game against India, also playing a second match for the MCC against Yorkshire that August. His highest score was 96 against Kent.

The following year, he played his first match for the Straits Settlements, playing against the Federated Malay States in Singapore in April. Back in England, he played a first-class match for the Gentlemen of England against Oxford University in 1919, and for HDG Leveson-Gower's XI against the same opposition in 1926, fitting in a second match for the Straits Settlements against the Federated Malay States in 1923.

The remainder of his cricket career was spent in the Far East, playing for the Straits Settlements between 1927 and 1930, also playing for the combined Malaya cricket team against Hong Kong and Shanghai. He also played for Singapore in 1927.
