The new world record holder had already had his share of social media moments, sent home from an Under-19s tour after being bitten by a monkey, taking a stunning boundary catch in the BBL, and setting up a TikTok account devoted to his golf swing.
A few months ago, Jake Fraser-McGurk’s longtime mentor distilled the essence of the 21-year-old’s game.
“I’ve committed to that to be the way I play, and the SACA coaches know that, and they’re really happy with the way I’ve been going with that. They’re well and truly on board. So having all that belief and confidence in the coaches and the people around me is massive for when I try to go out there and succeed.”
Offered a rookie contract with Victoria for this season, Fraser-McGurk instead received a more lucrative two-year offer from South Australia, and took it.Victoria’s hierarchy, including head coach Chris Rogers and head of male cricket David Hussey, would genuinely like to see Fraser-McGurk go on with things, and in SA opportunities will be more frequent.
“In the Shield game , I wasn’t going out there trying to smack everything last week, but I just hit the balls that I thought I could score off. That’s the mentality England are going through as well.
