AUS vs PAK: Australian Cricketers Offer Advice to Jake Fraser-McGurk for Improved ODI Performance
Australian opener Jake Fraser-McGurk has faced criticism after scoring only 36 runs in a three-match ODI series against Pakistan. Despite his potential, former Australian opener David Warner believes the 22-year-old must score more runs to retain his spot in the squad while maintaining his aggressive approach to batting.
has been under the scanner of all the former Australian players. In the three matches combined, the Australian opener was able to score just 36 runs from the 3 matches and averaged just 12.00 for the team. Regarding this, David Warner commented on the Aussie opener Jake Fraser-McGurk,
We were talking about whether his game plan will change. Well, it won’t. He’s happy with the way that he approaches the game, (but) he’d like a few more runs. If you’re not scoring runs, the solution to that is you’re going to get dropped. That method he thinks is going to work for him, but sometimes you might have to tinker with that a little bit if you’re not scoring runs. I don’t know the answer … but I hope he comes out tonight and proves a lot of people wrong,
Fraser-McGurk scored 330 runs in 9 IPL matches this year with a strike rate of 234.4, impressing players like David Warner. He joined Delhi Capitals as a replacement for pacer Lungi Ngidi at a base price of Rs 50 Lakhs. Although he made his ODI debut against the West Indies earlier this year, he has played five T20Is in his short international career so far.
Adam Gilchrist believes the opener has more skill than he is showing and should take inspiration from Mark Waugh. Gilchrist feels the player is not fully showcasing his talent and is selling himself short.
