Mike Procter (born 1946) – 21 internationals, 31.59 average, 66 high score, 83 wickets, 18.58 average, 6-73 best, two five-wicket innings, seven official Tests: Procter’s batting average is disappointing and unreflective of his genuine batting ability. I have no doubt, given a similar career, he was the equal of Imran Khan with bat and ball. His bowling average below 20 is nevertheless phenomenal. He was a miserly bowler, giving away few runs.
