Bowlers Adapt to Fraser-McGurk's Style

Fraser-McGurk's propensity to hit the ball in the air has been a distinct feature of his batting style.

The seamers have been the dominant force against Fraser-McGurk this season, with each of his five dismissals coming against balls moving away and him miscuing aerial hits. The seamers have bowled 64.3% of deliveries outside off this season, resulting in four dismissals for Fraser-McGurk and a scoring rate of just 66.67.
