  • Notes:
    In the 1936-37 Series, Australia levelled the series in the fourth Test at Adelaide with a sparkling 88 and 55 from McCabe. In the fifth and final Test McCabe's 112, together with Bradman's 169 and Badcock's 118, helped decide the series in Australia's favour. Australia had recovered from two down to win the next three Tests and the Ashes. Always immaculately dressed, charming, and a great favourite with the ladies, McCabe was one of the five players summoned after the conclusion of the third Test to hear a lecture about fitness, drinking and supporting the captain from Board of Control chairman, Dr. Allan Robertson.
