Jake Fraser-McGurk Has Got The Technique To Play First-class Cricket, Says Jason Gillespie
Big Bash League: Former Australia fast-bowler Jason Gillespie has backed Ricky Ponting's suggestion of Jake Fraser-McGurk being a future Test player, stating that the young batter has the technique to play first-class cricket and that the decision-makers need to think outside the box at times.
Riding on the back of a prolific Big Bash League (BBL) season, Fraser-McGurk smashed 41 from just 18 balls in just his second ODI for Australia against the West Indies in Canberra. Later, Ponting endorsed Fraser-McGurk to be a future Test player for Australia and even compared him to explosive batter David Warner’s career path, despite his first-class cricket average being 22.39.
"Why not? When David Warner first came into cricket, he played an international game before he played a first-class game. Now look at him 15 years later, he's a 100-Test cricketer. I think we've just got to think outside the box a little bit and not just pigeonhole people all the time."
