Mike Proctor ex South African cricketer aged 77 has died today. He was a great all rounder for Gloucestershire if my memory serves me right.

Mike Proctor ex South African cricketer aged 77 has died today. He was a great all rounder for Gloucestershire if my memory serves me right.

He played 7 tests before SA were banned. They beat AUS in six of those tests and Proctor had a bowling average of 15, taking 41 wickets and had a batting average of 25. Enjoyed a fantastic career with Glous.

RIP Tich.
