Matthew Cassar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matthew Cassar (born October 16, 1972) was an Australian cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler who represented Derbyshire and Northamptonshire in an eight-year first-class career.
A promising all-rounder, Cassar never quite lived up to the success of his early career. He first played for Derbyshire in the 1994 Second XI Championship, debuting against Gloucestershire, and scoring a half-century in his second innings. A regular fixture in the Second XI team until 1997, he suddenly made his breakthrough in County Cricket in that year.
He played consistently for the team until the 2002 season, when he transferred to Northamptonshire. Lower-division cricket was not to prove fruitful for him, however, and he quit the game at the end of the season.
Cassar's former wife, Jane Smit, has played Test cricket for the English women's cricket team since 1992.
