Jake Fraser-McGurk reignites his international ambitions with a blistering 49-ball century, leading South Australia to a resounding victory over Queensland.
Jake Fraser-McGurk has reignited his quest for an international recall, shattering records with a spectacular century to lead South Australia to victory in the One-Day Cup.
Opening the batting at Adelaide’s Karen Rolton Oval, the 24-year-old bashed ten fours and nine sixes against an undermanned Queensland attack for a whirlwind 63-ball 122.
Five of those sixes came in reaching 50 off just 14 balls, marking the fourth-fastest ever recorded in List A cricket and the fastest in Australia.
He brought up three figures off 49 balls, recording the third-fastest ever century in an Australian one-day match.
Fraser-McGurk put on 129 for the opening wicket with Mackenzie Harvey off just 69 balls before being dismissed by the 21st over.
Nathan McSweeney supported the total with a measured 106 off 103 balls, helping set the Bulls a target of 398 for victory.
Queensland never got close as Lachlan Hearne's defiant 121 went in vain, with the side bowled out for 271 in 40.1 overs.
Fast bowler Spencer Johnson claimed his maiden List A five-wicket haul, sealing a 126-run victory for the Redbacks.
