McCool, born in Paddington, New South Wales, was an all-rounder who bowled leg spin and googlies with a round arm action and as a lower order batsman was regarded as effective square of the wicket and against spin bowling.
He made his Test début against New Zealand in 1946, taking a wicket with his second delivery.
He was part of Donald Bradman's "Invincibles" team that toured England in 1948 but injury saw him miss selection in any of the Test matches.
A good tour of South Africa in 1949–50 was followed by a lack of opportunity in the next two seasons, leading McCool to sign a contract to play professional cricket in the Lancashire League in 1953.
Three years later, Somerset County Cricket Club recruited McCool where he was a success, especially as a middle-order batsman; he played five seasons and saw the club achieve its highest place in the County Championship since 1892.
He retired from cricket in 1960 and returned to Australia to work as a market gardener.
He died in Concord, New South Wales on 5 April 1986.

In 1946–47 he was called up for the Third Test in Melbourne against England and took 4/69 and 1/84.
More importantly he held up one end while Colin McCool made his maiden Test century.
He was kept for the Fourth Test in Melbourne and again defended stoutly while Keith Miller made his maiden Test century, but returned match figures of 3/198 and was dropped in favour of George Tribe.
His Test career ended when, after Doug Ring and Colin McCool were preferred as the leg spin bowlers in the 1948 Australian touring party to England, he came to England to play in the Lancashire League and then qualified by residence to play for Nottinghamshire (Notts).
In 1950–51 He toured India with the Commonwealth team.

Following his departure, Notts had their worst-ever period in terms of results.

Russ McCool
Russell John McCool( born 4 December 1959 at Taunton, Somerset, England) was an Australian cricketer who, by dint of his birthplace, played one first- class match for Somerset in 1982.
McCool was the son of the Australian Test all- rounder Colin McCool and his wife Dorothy.
He was born while his father was engaged as a professional cricketer for Somerset, but brought up in Australia where he attended schools in Woy Woy, New South Wales.
A leg-spin bowler and a right- handed lower order batsman, Russ McCool played for New South Wales Colts from the 1980- 81 season.
But his only first- class experience came in a single season, 1982, that he spent with Somerset, qualifying by birth.
In his single match for the first team against Derbyshire at Derby, he made 7 and 12 batting at No 10, took one catch, but failed to take a wicket with his bowling.
He played fairly regularly for Somerset's Second Eleven in the Second Eleven Championship and the Minor Counties, taking 30 wickets in the season.
He suffered an injury at the end of the season and had to stop playing and return to Australia.
John Kennedy (cricketer)
John Maxwell Kennedy( born 15 December 1931) is a former cricketer who played first- class cricket in 31 matches for Warwickshire between 1960 and 1962.
He was born at Barton- upon- Irwell, Manchester, England.
Kennedy was a right- handed middle- order batsman.
He scored 63 on debut against Oxford University in June 1960 and was then picked for a few more games that season, though he did not pass 50 again that year.
In one of his 1960 matches, a home game against Somerset that was drifting towards a draw, he was put on to bowl for the final overs of the Somerset second innings before close of play: in nine balls, he took two wickets for just one run, and his victims were both Test players, Abbas Ali Baig and Colin McCool.
Despite this success, he never bowled again, and nor is it known what his bowling style was.
Kennedy played fairly regularly for Warwickshire in 1961, achieving 756 runs in the season at an average of 27.00, but his highest score was only 78.
He was less successful in 1962, though his 94 against Oxford University was the highest score of his first- class career, and he did not play any further first- class cricket after the end of the season.
In 1964, he played Minor Counties cricket in a few matches for Staffordshire.
