Australian News – ‘Don’t feel like I’ve got that’ – Jake Fraser-McGurk fined for missing World Cup

Fraser-McGurk has yet to play a T20I for Australia, playing only two ODIs at the end of the Australian summer, but has lit up the IPL with two 15-ball half-centuries including a 27-ball 84 against Mumbai Indians where he arrived . beating IPL leading bowler Jasprit Bumrah by six runs and two and Indian allrounder Hardik Pandya by 22 runs in an over.

But Fraser-McGurk told the The Willow Talk podcast that he was not worried about not being selected for the World Cup team and said that his discussions with the selectors were clear.

“The communication was really good,” Fraser-McGurk said. “There are two ways you can look at it. You can look at it well, ‘this is what I did to prove my case,’ and then there is, ‘look, a month and a half ago I was not in the picture.’

“Maybe they have a good idea of ​​what it is [the squad] It’s been a month and a half, I’ve been trying to build that and get a connection to the team. And it’s hard to get into. You have David Warner, our best ever opener in three formats. You have Travis Head, who lights it up here and has lit it up for the last 18 months.

“And Mitch Marsh is the same and he is the captain.

“I don’t really see myself hitting five or six because we’re sitting well with Tim David, Cam Green and those blokes. That’s the way I think about it. It’s fine.

“Hopefully there will be more time for that.

“If somehow I find a vacation spot [spot] so good, I can get a good experience there.

“It didn’t bother me too much because I wasn’t in this situation to feel like I got it.

“World Cup cricket is very different from IPL and franchise cricket.”

Fraser-McGurk said he loves being at the Delhi Capitals and revealed that coach Ricky Ponting has given him batting advice that has helped him a lot.

“What he said to me is that ‘you hit the ball more when you swing at 80% instead of 100%, you just have to find the center and it goes out for six,'” Fraser. – McGurk said.

“And I was like, okay, that’s good, because if I swing too hard my head shakes. And I’ve looked at the pictures from all the recent games I’ve played outside of the IPL, and you’re right, if you swing hard my head shakes as I try to hit the ball.

“Someone that can pick up on those little things like that, and you’re not going to see it, to have someone that can see that within the first few times of watching me hit, that kind of blew my mind and then after that. I’ve been training all the time and it’s working out really well.”
