Chris Watling
ACADEMY COACH
I currently play for Aston Rowant CC as a top/middle order batsman (and occasional leg spoin bowler) in the Home Counties Premier League, as well as for Oxfordshire CCC having grown up through their junior age groups. I am also an MCC Playing Member and have toured twice with the club to Tanzania, and then most recently Suriname & Panama. I have been lucky enough to represent Sir Paul Getty's XI on numerous occasions at the world famous Wormsley Estate.
From a work perspective, I have worked for PitchVision Cricket technology for the last 4 years. PitchVision have been at the forefront of mobile, interactive sports training systems. The company’s core vision is to make television and academy style feedback available at the fingertips of all players every time they train or play. During my time with PitchVision I have woked closely with schools, clubs, counties as well as international teams to provide them with in depth training and match footage and data.
Prior to this I was heavily involved in cricket coaching having a worked at a number of schools, and also assisting in running sessions for Aston Rowant CC. I have also travelled to India as an assistant coach providing a comprehensive coaching camp as part of the MCC Lords India initiative.
