That's a stupid comparison unless you think bats and stumps are human beings like fielders - in which case it doesn't remain stupid, it becomes insane.That's an absolutely ridiculous analogy.
Imagine how many runs batsmen would score if they weren't allowed to use their bat! Or if there were 29 stumps (granted Sree and Ishant would probably still miss).
Or if you want me to make it a bit closer to what you said - imagine if a batsman was on his own, and had to run 2 each time
For the second paragraph, like a non-striker runs for a batsman's runs, the batsman runs too when he's at the non-striker end. So, it evens out (unless Botham is running with Boycott). But it's not only other bowlers who field and keep wicket for a bowler.
