RIP Mike ‘Proccie’ Procter, one of cricket’s greatest all-rounders, and the nicest of men. Lost his Test career to South Africa’s apartheid ban, but said: ‘What is a Test career compared to the suffering of 40 million people? Lots of people lost a great deal more in those years.’ https://t.co/QweGzEbpqC
