Croft was the Tino Best of his day.
No way he should be in front of Wes Hall who by all accounts was the original Rolls Royce of fast bowlers.

He was still not better than Wesley Hall.

Croft's career was short but impressive. He was a Tino Best during the U19 days but he improved a lot and earned himself a place in the senior team.
