Which players you think are not considered all rounders but their stat is like all rounders? (Considering their era )

[kohen]

I think wasim akram in odi is a good example. Considering his era, i think wasim akram was statistically better all rounder in odi than players like ian botham, shahid afridi.

Alastair Cook 45 with the bat, 7 with the ball

 

[Silver Silva]

Chris Gayle springs to mind , if he took his bowling seriously I believe he could have been a genuine all rounder.

Only after Paul Reiffel retired did I realise what a handy allrounder test record he had.

26.52 with bat and 26.96 with ball

Paul Collingwood? A part-time bowler in Test cricket, but over 100 wickets in ODIs, perhaps he already is considered an all-rounder in white-ball cricket, but it’s borderline

Goldenarms: The best part-time bowlers in the history of Test cricket

All-rounders are great, but part-time bowlers are more entertaining. Bowlers have to bat in Test cricket, even though they are not picked as batsmen – but only very occasionally is a batsman asked to bowl. Let’s try and work out which Test cricketer who wasn't picked for his bowling was the best...

Who is Test cricket’s greatest number eight? (Or: Which Test bowler was the best batsman?)

Specialist bowlers having to bat is one of the greatest things in the world because batting is absolutely nothing like bowling. It is like a javelin thrower training for years and years to perfect their art only to turn up at the Olympics and be told that they also have to play tennis. This is

Two fun pieces (albeit a bit dated) on the best part-time bowlers and best number 8 batters of all time, a lot of Australians are mentioned (and a lot of really good Aussie number 8s were missing!), they seem to do a roaring trade in batters who can bowl and bowlers who can bat without finding someone in the mould of Botham, Stokes, Dev or Jadeja

I didn't realise how all-rounder-ish Reiffel was. Knew he was good and the bowling number isn't a shock.

These are the types of player England never seemed to produce, unless Tim Bresnan counts?

Craig White, Giles, Swann, Broad pre-bouncer to the face, Moeen, Wakes, the aforementioned Bresnan...

Ouch on a few of those since it was compared to Reiffel's record. Woakes is a good shout though, at least in England.

When was the Broady 'bouncer in the face' moment again? It might appear earlier in his career than it actually was, funnily enough Darren Gough's batting followed a similar arc.

It was 2014 v India. He averaged around 24 with the bat, 30 with the ball.

Before calling him all-rounder-ish it's worth pointing out that Rieffel didn't score any 100s (even at FC level) and his batting average is boosted by a lot of not outs (28%)

England had Dominic Cork in the 90s who was a decent enough bowling all rounder.

 

[Molehill]

Craig White, Giles, Swann, Broad pre-bouncer to the face, Moeen, Wakes, the aforementioned Bresnan...

I think Craig White was only selected because he was an all rounder, and surely Moeen is one of the purest examples of one.

Swann is a good call though, more than useful with the bat (4 FC tons).

Wasim Akram was a solid big striker down the order. Though played 7 or lower most of the time?

Jayasuriya in tests too.

 

[Migara]

And Vaas. He was unceramoniously dropped. Was averaging 35+ with the bat when he was dropped. There was another fast bowler named Ravi Ratnayeke. Was good enough to open the batting. He retired at age of 30 when his batting was truely taking shape. He was pretty bad with the ball on tour but knew exactly what to do on home wickets. SL didn't had much home matches during his era. His batting however was pretty solid.

Ted Dexter? Probably didn't bowl quite enough to properly qualify as an AR (quick calc suggests an average of 14 overs per test) but did manage more wickets than appearances & 34.92 isn't a bad average for a chap bloke whose batting mean is nudging 48.

2014, it no doubt impacted on his batting, but his batting was on the decline by then as he became a more prominent member of the team for his bowling, before then, he would try to bat properly, but after that he would become something of a slogger

Sounds similar to Hammond
