Forgotten blaster’s World Cup reminder with record-breaking ton … but there’s a catch

Jake Fraser-McGurk hit a 49-ball century, scoring 122 off 63 deliveries to guide South Australia to a 126-run One-Day Cup victory over Queensland at Karen Rolton Oval. Fraser-McGurk reached his half-century in just 14 balls, setting the fastest List A fifty ever recorded in Australia. His effort, combined with Nathan McSweeney's 106, helped South Australia post 397 runs before bowling Queensland out for 271.

Despite the explosive performance reminding national selectors of his abilities, Fraser-McGurk's exceptional List A record remains heavily tied to Adelaide's Karen Rolton Oval. He averages 68.66 at the venue, compared to an average of just 20.55 across 32 innings at all other grounds. Spencer Johnson sealed the win by claiming his maiden List A five-wicket haul.
