Career
A number of Garnaut's family had previously played top-level sports: his grandfather, Laurie (East Perth), father, John (East Perth), and brother, Graeme (East Perth, Peel Thunder and Subiaco) all played WAFL senior football, and his sister, Kristin, played netball for the Perth Orioles.[1] Matthew Garnaut played Teal Cup football for Western Australia, and later played one senior match for East Perth in the WAFL in 1994.[2] He later turned to cricket, making his first-class debut for Western Australia against South Australia in November 1996.[3] Overall, he played 16 matches for Western Australia in the 1996–97 and 1997–98 Sheffield Shield competitions, taking 37 wickets at an average of 42.00, with a best of 4/51.[4] Garnaut also played WACA District Cricket for the Bayswater-Morley District Cricket Club. He was involved in a notable incident during the 1998–99 WACA First Grade final against Midland-Guildford, when he and Brett Mulder, batting at numbers 10 and 11 respectively, put on 177 for the 10th wicket to win the tournament for Bayswater-Morley, with Garnaut finishing on 127 not out.[1][5]
