Offered a rookie contract with Victoria for this season,Fraser-McGurk instead received a more lucrative two-year offer from South Australia,and took it.

Victoria’s hierarchy,including head coach Chris Rogers and head of male cricket David Hussey,would genuinely like to see Fraser-McGurk go on with things,and in SA opportunities will be more frequent.

His dash for runs at Karen Rolton Oval against Tasmania was spectacular,but merely the start of what he hopes can be a career as impactful as that of England’s Bazballers.

“I definitely think that’s the way cricket is moving forward now,” he enthused. “You see a lot of games finish in three days or early on the fourth day because teams are trying to have the game move forward pretty quick.

“In the Shield game[where he was out for 37 off 23 balls],I wasn’t going out there trying to smack everything last week,but I just hit the balls that I thought I could score off. That’s the mentality England are going through as well.

“They’re not doing anything too out of the ordinary,they’re playing some amazing shots,but they’re watching the ball and sticking to their processes and that’s the way they play their cricket. And that’s the way I see it moving forward.”

In this,Fraser-McGurk shares something withZak Crawley,the England opener who lit up Old Trafford with a remarkable century during the Ashes after abandoning earlier efforts to play in a more orthodox manner.

“I’d been doing that quite a bit over the last few years,just trying to accommodate for everyone and what they think is best for me,instead of me just knowing what’s best for myself and not committing to that,” he reflected.

“It’s definitely hard,just because of the way I came on the scene – 17 years old,those 50s and the debuts – everyone was thinking that it’s going to happen very quickly for me and things like that,and so did I,to be fair. It was challenging being in and out of those teams,and I’d get back in,then get back out of it,and it was just difficult to comprehend how to go about it.”

Against Tasmania,Fraser-McGurk stuck rigorously to a pre-ball routine he grooved through the winter and was able to keep his mind clear enough simply to watch the ball and play it.

On a pitch he termed “like glass”,that made for the sort of mayhem that he hopes to repeat for the Renegades in coming months. But Fraser-McGurk has not,he insists,thought too much about the overseas T20 circuit just yet.

“It’s a massive confidence thing for me there,” he said. “I haven’t played that well in the BBL,but I’m hoping this innings and hopefully a few more can really help me get into that sort of zone where I can play my best at T20 level for the Renegades.”

As for Young,who spends his days running the YoungGun Cricket Lab in Moorabbin,there was another clear message to Fraser-McGurk when he picked up his phone after the end of the game.

“He said pretty much ‘enjoy this moment mate,this time’s been coming for a long time and we’ve worked so hard towards this result’,” Fraser-McGurk said. “Just keep the belief that working hard will get you where you want to go.”
