WATCH: Another brain-fade moment for Jake Fraser-McGurk in BBL 2024-25 ends in dramatic run-out

Melbourne Renegades’ young batter Jake Fraser-McGurk has been through a horrific run of form with the bat in the ongoing Big Bash League 2024-25. He has been enduring a dismal batting form, failing to cross the mark of even 30+ runs in a game. Once again in the tournament, he happened to face a brain fade moment.

The incident happened in the tournament’s ongoing 34th game between Melbourne Renegades and Hobart Hurricanes. Jake Fraser-McGurk came to bat for his side at number three after the Renegades lost their first at the score of just 8 runs. Just four balls later, they lost another wicket to Marcus Harris when the team’s score was only 9 runs.

Jake Fraser-McGurk was left clueless in a brain fade moment on the fifth ball of the fifth over when he was there in the middle, alongside Jacob Bethell. Both the batters happened to end in a misunderstanding when Bethell played it to the extra cover but Fraser-McGurk didn’t even start his running from the non-striker’s end.

Eventually, Bethell had already reached the non-striker’s end and McGurk failed to cover even half of the crease; the Hurricanes’ wicketkeeper Matthew Wade made no mistake in dodging off the ball on the throw from Nathan Ellis.

The video of this moment also started making rounds as soon as it was shared by a user on X (former Twitter).
