context_page_description: Matthew Thomas Gray Elliott is an Australian former cricketer, who played as a left-handed opening batsman.
context_section_description: In April 2005 Elliott made a request to leave the Victorian team to join South Australia as player-coach; this was originally rejected by Cricket Victoria although Elliott appealed their decision.  On 5 May a Cricket Australia grievance tribunal overturned Cricket Victoria's decision, freeing the way for Elliott to join South Australia.
  In the 2005-06 season Elliott struggled with injury and inconsistent form.
  The 2006-07 Australian domestic season was equally disappointing, with just 193 runs at 13.8 from seven first class (Pura Cup) games. As a result, he was axed from the South Australian state side. Curiously his form in the domestic one-day competition was much better with 465 runs at 51.6, highlighted by two centuries.
