International Debutant
I mean hypothetically in my mind at least the min/max for Procter would’ve been something like Pollock/Imran. Hypothetically, I think that’s better than Kapil.
Minimum is Pollock ( Kapil Slightly Better ).
This is what separates Procter from the likes of Barry Richards. Even at worst case scenario Procter is an ATG.
Barry Richards Min/Max - de Silva / Sachin
Procter Min / Max - Pollock / Marshall with 35 batting avg.

Just for reference, FC stats minus tests for the 4 AR’s + Procter
