Nice Guys finish last so I'll just become a finisher

'Everything's happening so quickly' - Fraser-McGurk on his rapid rise to stardom

Jake Fraser-McGurk opens up on a whirlwind last 12 months where he has gone from the fringes of Australian domestic cricket to starring on IPL debut

www.espncricinfo.com

Such a refreshingly joyful young kid. So wholesome to read.

And of course, the greatest place in the world had a little something to do with this development as well.

In 2019, Fraser-McGurk was part of a development squad sent by Cricket Australia to train at the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai. He'd enjoyed going out and about, soaking in the "madness for cricket" and the uniqueness the place offered with its heat, humidity and cuisine.

Finally an explanation for his inability to score in red ball stuff

Question for Indian CWers. Is there any particular reason RCB still use the Anglicised name of Bengaluru? I only noticed it today and it struck me as a bit odd

Burgeinho was meant to be over there this week for a tourney but it fell through unfortunately. He was very much looking forward to seeing some more IPL

As in Bangalore? Because they've been set as Royal Challengers Bengaluru from this season onwards.

He was meant to be running a kids academy tourney over there. But yeah, he loved it last year. Probably helped he got to have boozy dinners with Warner and Watto in some ritzy hotel in Delhi lol

Cheers for this. I saw it as Bangalore somewhere online today which is what prompted me to ask.

Gold Aussie banter,

Salt 100 loading...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

****ing Rain Parag drops a sitter. Salt is definitely making a 100 now.

Dropped on 0

 

[Silver Silva]

Why does Harsha Bhogle criticise so much, that's not a commentators job

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That stuck like a mouse on a glue trap...the ball into the left hand of Avesh Khan. So. no Salt 100 today.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Why does Harsha Bhogle criticise so much, that's not a commentators job

I think he went with a decent take on the swing of the ball hardly evident...making a proposal for a ball that swings more in the powerplay to test these openers who bats gung-ho with no foot movement at all. Some of them are legit hacks against the moving ball.

It's a better proposal than Kevin Pietersen's big sixes being a 12.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

****ing narine swinging like that with ugly technique and getting away everytime

 

[Silver Silva]

Wow ! Congratulations to Sunil Narine on a glorious hundred against a top bowling attack. He's waited 13 years for this moment !

He also now holds a unique IPL record, he's the first player to have an IPL hundred and an IPL 5fer. There can't be many who have that double in their T20 career overall.
