Matt Barker says he no longer “enjoys” cricket.
He used to. As a private-school educated kid in Manchester, he played team and town cricket ‘to a pretty high level, but ultimately not high enough’’. He enjoyed the game and discovered he had an instinct for “reading the play’’, a skill that would eventually parlay into a successful life as a Betfair cricket trader and whose Pro Sports Syndicate is attracting like-minded members.
