Matthew John Petrie (born 27 October 1978) is a former Australian cricketer who played several matches for Western Australia during the 2005–06 season.
[1] A right-arm fast bowler, he moved to Western Australia prior to the 2004–05 season, and during the season represented a state representative side against the touring Pakistanis, although the match was not accorded first-class status.
[2] Also playing for Willetton in the WACA district competition, Petrie led the competition's bowling averages, which led to occasional selection in the state second XI team playing in the Cricket Australia Cup.
[4] This form led to his selection the following month to play for Western Australia in a limited-overs ING Cup against Queensland, held at the WACA Ground.
[6][7] With Western Australia's fast-bowling attack including established players Brett Dorey, Ben Edmondson, and Steve Magoffin,[8] he did not play at state level again, and later returned to Queensland.
