Dave "On a Sixpence" Proverbs was a medium pace bowler who could bowl all day if required. He would not only bowl long spells but would hit a length that would tie a batsman down.

If you were to place a sixpence on a length he would probably hit it 7 times out of ten. He was pretty handy with the bat as well and could be relied upon to knock up a quick 20 or 30 when required.

Nowadays he still works and travels the midlands and with his family foster children.

Rumour has it he might be donning the whites for the odd Sunday game. For the batsmen be aware, if you don't use your feet be prepared not to score many runs.
