They are both former pupils of King's High School. They are both teachers who have gone on to teach at their old school, and they both play cricket for Otago.
But that is where the similarities end. Bradley Scott (35) is a left-arm seamer bowler who is, shall we say, nearing the twilight of his career.
He is also a fulltime teacher at King's who is no stranger to being called Mr Scott in the nets - which is a lot better than grandad, we suggest.
The veteran showed up some of the younger players at the weekend with two for 27 during Otago's win against the Northern Knights in Wellington.
The Knights' line-up featured four players Scott taught at Hamilton Boys' - Mitchell Santner, Scott Kuggeleijn, Joe Walker and Anurag Verma.
There was a fifth former student of Scott's playing that night - our other Brad, Bradley Rodden.
The 25-year-old is a right-hand middle-order batsman who made his debut last season and is still finding his way at provincial level.
He looked promising getting through to 10 before getting an edge in the five-wicket win against the Knights, and last summer Rodden scored his maiden first-class hundred in just his second match for the province.
Rodden taught at King's for four months during the winter.
He is hoping to play cricket overseas this winter but enjoyed teaching at his old school.
''I still show my face here [King's] in a few classes ... and work with some of the cricket lads as well.''
Scott returned to Dunedin last year after a five-year stint in Hamilton, where he played for Northern.
He had taught at King's before he left and returned to his old job.
Balancing work, cricket commitments and family life is a juggling act but he has a very understanding employer.
''The man who is in charge of relief teaching, well, I'm probably not his favourite this term.''
Scott teaches maths and physical education and had fond memories of attending the school from 1993-97.
One of his claims to fame is he batted ahead of Brendon McCullum in the First XI, but then McCullum was in the third form (year 9) at the time.
Scott's sporting career is a source of great amusement for his students - win or lose.
''You generally get tortured either way. No-one has had a crack at my lack of pace yet, which is quite good.''
Scott, by the way, prefers Bradley, whereas Rodden is ''more of a Brad''.
Both Brad and Bradley are expected to be in the Otago squad for its twenty20 match against Central in Napier on Friday.
