Coaching Bio

Played over 280 matches with the Queensland Bulls, Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder, winning 8 titles and claiming the most wicket keeping dismissals in Australian first-class history.

A former Australian cricketer playing over 280 matches with the Queensland Bulls, Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder. Hard-hitting left-hand batsman and wicket keeper winning 8 titles over a 16-year career. I captained in all three forms of the game and claimed a number of keeping records, including the most dismissals in Australian first-class history. I have coached wicket keepers at all levels of the game, from junior club cricketers to Sheffield Shield players, and have delivered keeping, batting, general cricket, and leadership/teamwork courses for clubs, schools, state representative sides and Cricket Australia programs. Wicket keeping is a unique art form within the game requiring a rare set of skills, knowledge and experience. With only one position per team, it is a unique role that few players perform and even fewer players and coaches have expert understanding of.

What a fantastic experience for my 11 year old who had a session with Chris this week. The technical and practical advice given on both wicket-keeping and batting were invaluable and my son can't wait for the season to begin! Thanks Chris for your time and we will be back soon for another session I am sure!
