Watch: Dot, Dot, Four, Six, Out – Jake Fraser-McGurk’s International Debut Lasts Five Eventful Balls | AUS V WI

Watch: Jake Fraser-McGurk’s much-anticipated international debut lasted only five balls, but it was not short of drama.

Acclaimed as an aggressive batsman from a young age, Jake Fraser McGuirk made headlines when he scored a 29-ball hundred, the fastest list for the South to beat Tasmania against Australia in a Marsh Cup match. I did. In October 2023.

With a List A batting average of 140, it was only a matter of time before he broke into Australia’s ODI squad, especially after David Warner retired from the team – although the left-handed bowler will consider a recall If the situation that I said I was going to be in place, I will be ready for next year’s Champions Trophy. Although he missed his first of three consecutive ODIs against the West Indies, he was selected for his second ODI to be played at the Sydney cricket ground.

Fraser McGuirk took the lead in a batting duel with wicketkeeper Josh Inglis and was able to beat Alzarri Joseph’s pace from the start. He tried to send the first pitch over center, but it missed completely. He was hit with a push on the second ball, which was outside the stumps, and was hit again.

He slipped out before Joseph played his third pitch and hit a four into the far fence. Joseph changed his length, but Fraser-McGurk expected that. He stayed rooted to the goal area and swung the ball over the square fence.

Joseph was now bowling on the track outside the stumps. Fraser McGurk hit the softest shot of the innings and Shai Hope took an easy catch behind the stumps.

Gudakesh Motier (3-28) broke Australia’s middle order. Australia finished the match at 258-9 thanks to Sean Abbott who scored his 69 points from number eight.
