Episode 106
Welcome to this episode of Just Havin a Crack. This week's guest is South African all-rounder, coach, and match Referee Mike Procter.
Mike growing up in Durban was drawn to all sports but cricket won out.
Mike rose to the top of his game at a time when South Africa was unable to compete internationally due to Apartheid.
A country divided by what colour your skin was.
World Series Cricket, County Cricket, and Currie Cup were Mike's avenues to display his skills.
Post-retirement Mike went on to coach South Africa and then become a Match Referee.
Mike was involved with the now infamous "Monkey Gate" saga between India and Australia.
