Legendary South African all-rounder Mike Procter dies

Mike Procter died following complications after a heart surgery. He was 77. Procter is considered as a Test great despite a short international career, abbreviated due to South Africa's sporting isolation from the 1970s and 1980s. Procter was also known for his power with the bat, making key runs in a 4-0 whitewash of Australia in 1969/1970, and his work for South Africa was acknowledged by Wisden, named as one of their Cricketers of the Year in 1970.
