Australia’s explosive opening batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk’s aggressive batting style was heavily criticized by former player Ian Healy. Let us tell you that Jake Fraser-McGurk has batted brilliantly in domestic cricket so far but the young player has not been able to leave his mark in international cricket.

Australia team is currently playing a three-match ODI series against Pakistan. The first ODI between these two teams was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne in which Jake Fraser-McGurk scored only 16 runs. Ian Healy has criticized the batting approach of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short and compared their batting to ‘schoolyard bullies’.

Ian Healy told SEN: ‘The arrogance of the Australian players could not keep them ahead even for half an hour in the match. They are watching it like schoolyard cricket. The shot selection was very poor and both the openers played like ‘schoolyard bullies’. The investment the cricket board has made in them is looking very bad as both the players have batted disappointingly so far.

We have been chosen to give an attacking start: Jake Fraser-McGurk

Regarding Healy’s statement, Jake Fraser-McGurk said, ‘I don’t think so. The game is changing very quickly and if we start with a bang in the first 10 overs, the team can reach big scores. If we give a good start to the team, then the batsmen in the middle order will also get a lot of help and we can score big.

I and Short can come on the field and play cricket in our own way and that is why we have been selected. We have got a place in the team so that we can give an aggressive start and put pressure on the bowlers of the opposing team. This is our plan as well as that of the team. Whatever way the management expects us to bat, we can show them the same performance.

The batsmen struggled against spin throughout the series and could not perform well even against the fast bowlers. India’s batting line-up faltered badly on the spinning pitches of Pune and Mumbai and the team scored 156,245, 263 and 121. Meanwhile, before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has revealed some techniques to help Indian players improve their game. Navjot Singh Sidhu gave these suggestions to counter spin Navjot Singh Sidhu’s old advice regarding playing spin has resurfaced, which is going viral on social media. He further added to this with a four-point “playbook” for the Indian batsmen while tweeting on social media on November 6. Navjot Singh Sidhu first advised to “move forward often to confuse the spinner’s mind, it will force him to guess”. He suggests that by moving forward on the pitch, batsmen can disrupt the bowler’s rhythm and foil his plans. His second point is “Point of No Return” – the point of the bowler’s delivery. “Make sure you move when it is at the point of no return (point of delivery). “It comes from instinct and hours of practice.” Playing spin on turning tracks – 1 stepping out often to the spinner to clutter his mind, keep him guessing…. 2 ensure that you step out when he is at a point of no return (point of delivery), it comes with instinct and hours of practice 3 watch his wrist like a hawk till the… — Navjot Singh Sidhu (@sherryontopp) November 6, 2024 Sidhu then continued his suggestion by asking the batsmen to look closely at their hands before throwing the ball. “Keep an eye on your wrist like a hawk till the end to code the delivery,” he said, adding that this will help batsmen understand which way the ball will turn and adjust their reaction accordingly. Lastly, Sidhu advised to have a little forward movement so that both front foot and back foot are ready to explore the shot. “A small initial forward movement allows you to adjust to playing the ball late and moving back and forth,” he explained, adding that committing too early can put the batsman in a precarious position. “Swoop or commit, and you are at the mercy of the bowler – like a dying duck in a storm,” he warned.
