With the emergence of Vettori's exploits in batting, in some cases to the detriment to him as a bowler of spin, the question must be raised... is this the new prototype for a spinner?
Should a spinner, like the wicket keeper, be an accomplished batsman as well?
Panesar is the traditional spinner - can't bat, can't field only bowls well. Murali is another traditional spinner. At least in my mind. Name other spinners in the world, upcoming or not (like Harris) that doesn't spin the ball that much, but can bat a bit.
