Define part timer

 

[Majestic]

Seamer - Steve Waugh and Carl Hooper
Spinner - Sachin Tendulkar, Mark Waugh and Joe Root

These names coming on top of my head. Can be more.

 

[subshakerz]

Define part timer

I did. You can't consider them an AR.

Kallis(kidding, this was just to make you happy Subz)

 

[Manee]

Can't deny this.

 

[Sunil1z]

Spinner - Sachin Tendulkar, Mark Waugh and Joe Root

Also
Gayle , Sehwag , Border and Chappell

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Michael Clarke was pretty decent

Nathan Astle and Scott Styris

 

[subshakerz]

Can't deny this.

Sehwag in India seemed like a legit spinner.

 

[Majestic]

Also
Gayle , Sehwag , Border and Chappell

Gayle - Maybe.

Sehwag - Naah, he was below Sachin and actually below Yuvraj too

Chappell and Border - Probably no but don't remember.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Craig McMillan had a very useful bouncer, but Jeremy Coney might be the answer

Root has bowled close to 200 overs since the start of last year in 20 innings, idk if he’s a part timer anymore

That's why he is among greatest part timers. Is he good enough to qualify as all rounder? Probably no.

you cant call someone a part timer just because they’re bad though as that would disqualify so many players picked on their bowling, it has to be based on how they’re used and what their role is. England have used him close to a 2nd or 3rd spinner often over the last few years and that doesnt scream part timer to me

respect your view if you see it differently though since the definition of a part timer is really nebulous and varies from person to person

 

[Sunil1z]

If Root is a part timer ( 2023,2024 ) then so were Sami and Agarkar

Root is a great shout.

I think on a career level he still is PT.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Mark Waugh

Is Carl Hooper a PT? What about Hammond?
