" Alan Gibson wrote: " We hardly think of him as a stylist, and he was mostly a back-foot player, getting the greater number of his runs in the segments fanning out from point and square-leg.
In the best Somerset tradition, he was always after the bowling, and in the best Australian tradition, he always relished a fight.
" But he also adapted his style to suit English pitches: in an early innings for Somerset, he was out trying to hook a ball from Trevor Bailey.
" The hook, he decided, was a stroke to be used sparingly on English pitches ... McCool was constantly amending his technique that season, whenever he spotted a flaw in his method.
Nothing in his previous experience had equipped him for the task of holding up a losing side in a damp English summer.
