Whatever it takes!!!
u mean ur last post? Then yeah, I agree and I think that is what Shri meant too.
Which Matthews (Angelo or Greg)?Anybody who bowled in >1.5 innings per Test is an allrounder IMO
So Allrounders: Greig, Faulkner, Worrell, Barlow, McCabe
Non Allrounders: Jayasuriya, Gayle, Simpson, Dexter, Matthews, Waugh, Walters, Macartney, Edrich, Cowper,
See I don’t like that definition, for Matthews for example he was bowling an average of 22 overs in each of those innings, and taking more than a wicket an innings, sounds more like an allrounder than a batsman who bowls to me.Both would be batsmen by my definition
GM bowled in 47 inns in 33 games (1.42)
AM bowled in 81 inns in 86 matches (0.94)
He bowled 666 balls in 13 innings...evil numbersI'm going to pick WG Grace here - given his 9 wickets in 22 matches. I don't know where to get innings-bowled-in figures,

Botham is definitely an all-rounder in every sense of the word and, with a bowling average of 28.40 he doesn't qualify (batting average under 40, bowling average over 30)Can Ian Botham be picked? If yes then Ian Botham. (28.40)
