When Jake Fraser-McGurk almost quit cricket

Not too long ago, the youngster almost quit cricket to pursue golf, another sport he is very good at. Jake’s childhood coach Shanon Young attributed his ward’s high backlift to his love for golf.
“He is a very good golfer. At one stage, he wanted to take up golf as a professional. Believe it or not, even I once told him to switch to golf,” Shanon told The Indian Express from Victoria.
“I first started working with him when he was 12 years old. I reckon his high backlift developed when he was 15 or 16. He started to put his hands up because he almost had too much power, and too much impact in terms of getting that bat back. It was just natural. What helped him is that his head stays still. He picks up line and length quicker than anyone I have ever seen. He has done things from a young age that I have never seen anyone doing with such ease,” he said.
