Personally I think McCabe is a great fifth. Chances are in an ATG game, a fifth bowler wouldn't need to bowl too often, perhaps 3 or 4 overs before the new ball (unless you have a genuine five pronged attack of course, but that's a different strategy altogether).
If you look at the strike rates of my fast bowlers though, the numbers suggest we wouldn't even get that far
