International career
Rackemann, a well built fast bowler, was born in Wondai, Queensland. He made his Test debut versus England at Brisbane in 1982 and was consistently picked for the national side, mainly for One Day Internationals, until 1985. He was the leading wicket taker during the 1984-85 tour of India.
He signed up to play in the rebel tours of South Africa (1985-86 and 1986-87). Therefore, missing out on representing the official Australian team during this time.
Rackemann came back into the Australian team in 1989, first being picked for that year's Ashes tour to England. In the 2nd innings of the Test against New Zealand in Perth in 1989–90, he achieved the amazing figures of 31 overs, 21 maidens, 23 runs and 1 wicket.
However, he was well known for being a poor batsman, achieving only 53 runs off his 14 innings with a high score of 15.
Queensland career
A legend in Queensland cricket, Rackemann until recently held the record of 425 wickets until being overtaken by Michael Kasprowicz. Rackemann's last game for Queensland was the 1994-95 Sheffield Shield Final. Queensland won this match and the Shield for the very first time. This was a relief for Rackemann as he had played in four of Queensland's previous final defeats.
He also played English county cricket for Surrey 2nd XI in 1981 and Surrey in 1995 and was briefly recalled to the Australian side in 1995 for their tour of the West Indies due to a fast bowling injury crisis.
After his playing career, he went on to the national coaching position for the Zimbabwean national cricket team for two seasons from 2000. He has now returned to farming in Queensland and is also an after dinner speaker. He has inspired an expatriate Australian cricket team in London "Carl Rackemann All Stars (CRAS)"
Politics
In September 2011, Rackemann announced that he would be standing in the forthcoming Queensland state election as a Katter's Australian Party candidate in the electoral district of Nanango.[3] His attempt was unsuccessful.
