MikeProcter could have been an all-time great of Test cricket. Bowling at speed in his seven Tests, all against Australia, he took 41 wickets at a breathtaking average of 15, and he had a second string of effective off-breaks. As a batter, one of only three men alongside CB Fry and Don Bradman to score six successive first-class centuries, he could turn a match with his powerful, classical hitting.
