@qpeedore now has 2 late picks. Hope all is well.

While on Windies quicks, I'll take Joel Garner.

[Ed Smith]

[ahmedleo414]

tagging @Aislabie for his next pick

 

[Aislabie]

Mike Procter

Test stats: 226 runs @ 25.11 (best 48) and 41 wickets @ 15.02 (1 5WI, best 6/73) in 7 matches
First-class stats: 21,936 runs @ 36.01 (48 centuries, best 254) and 1,417 wickets @ 19.53 (70 5WI, best 9/71) in 401 matches

If not for the sporting isolation of South Africa that resulted from Apartheid, Mike Procter would have likely gone on to be remembered as one of Test cricket's very best fast bowlers. Instead, he's somewhat forgotten in conversations about the very greats, but he completes what is almost certainly the best bowling attack I've ever assembled in a draft, and if anything makes it stronger. Oh, and he was also a top-class batsman too, batting two positions above Imran Khan for the WSC World XI.

Aislabie's XI so far:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7. Mike Procter
8. Alan Davidson
9. Hedley Verity
10. Shane Warne
11. Glenn McGrath
