Matthew Alistair Everett (born 22 February 2000) is an Australian cricketer who played for Lalor and Rosebud and is the current head coach of Rosebud. A right handed opening batsman, Everett formed a well-established opening partnership with Tom Carrington during his time at Rosebud.

Lalor reserves
Everett joined Lalor Cricket Club in January 2015. Batting at number six on debut, he showed promise with scores of 32 and 13. He was included in Lalor's reserve team for Season 2015 as an opening batsman. In eight matches, Everett scored 353 runs, including three fifties, at an average of 23.53. Despite his output being inconsistent throughout the season, he earned praise for his technique and temperament.

Everett played two matches in Lalor's first choice team in the 2015-16 off-season as an opener, scoring 96 runs in four innings, which included a patient 59 off 151 against Heidelberg. He once again played reserves in Season 2016, scoring his first century, a knock of 127 runs off 270 balls, against Frankston. He went on to score a further four half-centuries throughout the season.

Move to Rosebud
Everett was slated for a promotion to Lalor's first choice team in Season 2017, but the recruitment of Heath Garrison meant that he was no longer part of their first choice opening partnership. At the end of 2016, Everett was transferred to Rosebud, where he sought opportunity to open the batting for a club's first choice team. In his first match for Rosebud, he combined with Tom Carrington for a century partnership, affirming his worth as an opener.

Everett was included in Rosebud's squad for Season 2017. He struggled for runs early in the season, scoring just 39 runs in four knocks across his first two matches, but found his touch with back-to-back fifties against West Coburg.

Playing style
Everett is an orthodox opening batter with a strong tendency to play on the front foot. His batting style has been noted as being complementary to his opening partner Tom Carrington, a left-hander who likes to play on the back foot.
