Mike Proctor without any question.
As a biased Aussie and young whippersnapper, I'll throw Ponting in there mostly because he hasn't got a mention just yet. Superb batsman and unbelievably good fielder who caught everything and hit the stumps more often than not. Tendulkar and Lara probably better batsmen among contemporaries (with other contenders such as Sangakkara, Dravid, Hayden, etc.), Kallis has the all-round chops, and a lot of superb bowlers to think about, but Ponting is one of the guys I grew up watching summer after summer.
