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.

All of our Keepers had a great session with Chris. They took away key drills, standards and what it takes to succeed. Chris also gave an interactive talk on leadership which was immensely enjoyed by the group. Fantastic addition to our camp and a very professional coach.

My 10 y/o son had his first session with Chris today. He’s been playing for a few years, loves being a wicket keeper but has had no real training to have success in that role. Chris was able to connect well with him at his level. He was clear and kind in his communication and I can see a lot of value was gained from our session today.

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!
