Matthew Elliott is an Australiancricketer. Representing Victoria in the domestic competition, he has a reputation as a strong opener.
Elliott's Australian representative career began in 1996/1997, when he replaced the out of form Michael Slater as then-captain Mark Taylor's opening partner against the West Indies. During this series, he ran into his batting partner Mark Waugh and injured his knee severely in an incident which was widely replayed on television. He returned to the side for the subsequent Ashes series in England and established himself with two centuries. However, he was soon forced out of the team again and spent several years playing domestic cricket only. His outstanding season in 2003/2004 resulted in a new record for Pura Cup/Sheffield Shield runs of 1381 and a new Australian Cricket Board contract. During the 2004 series in northern Australia against Sri Lanka, Elliott was recalled for one match to replace captain Ricky Ponting who did not play for personal reasons. While his score of 1 was not particularly flattering, he has again established himself as being just outside the Test team and a ready replacement for any of the top order.
Matthew J. Elliott practices in the areas of employment law and civil litigation.
Elliott graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 1992 with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and English.
Elliott is admitted to practice before the State Courts of Indiana, the United States District Courts of Northern and Southern Indiana, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
On the eve of the revolution Elliott was the partner of Alexander Blaine of Carlisle, Pa. He continued to trade in the Ohio region during the winter of 177576, and in the summer of 1776 acted as an American emissary to invite the Shawnees and Delawares to a treaty at Fort Pitt.
In spite of this misfortune and the handicap of illiteracy, Elliott became a justice of the peace for the new District of Hesse in 1788.
Elliott was present at the battle of Fallen Timbers in August 1794, but as an observer not as a participant; the British chose not to support the Indians militarily and the Indian forces were crushed.
