Pat Pocock, Welsh-English cricketer

Patrick Ian Pocock (born 24 September 1946) is a Welsh former cricketer, who played in 20 Test matches and one One Day International for the England cricket team between 1968 and 1985.

The cricket correspondent Colin Bateman opined, "The selectors never really trusted Pat Pocock, although he was one of the most authentic spin bowlers of his generation. Pocock's action was textbook high; he spun the ball, varied his angles, and had a sweet loop."
