Famous Cricketers No 54 - Stan McCabe

1934/35 Injury prevented McCabe playing for most of the season after having to retire hurt in the first game: trying to turn a ball from McCormick onto the on-side, it struck him on his right hand and broke a small bone in his thumb. In the Victoria match he made two scores over fifty, with a best of 92 in 140 minutes with 10 fours and, in the second innings, a run-a-minute 53 contained 7 fours.
