The greatest non-allrounder at their non-specialist discipline

Tests only

Bowlers that bat a bit - Akram, Vaas, Davidson, Symcox
Batters that bowl a bit - Jayasuriya, Walters, Tendulkar
Keepers that bat a bit - You have to decide on whether Knott, PJ, Engineer, Prior, Dhoni are regarded as full time bats or not. If above are not taken in to account, Molin Khan it is.

It's probably Gillespie the batsman. Too many impactful knocks in tough situations (especially against India) and a double century....

Clearly Dhoni is a batsman.
I'd personally say Prior is clearly a wicketkeeper-batsman.
Knott....wouldn't like to call it. @wpdavid?
I don't know enough about Engineer to give an opinion, and I don't know who PJ is.

Knott....I would personally think that he qualifies.

PJ is Prasanna Jayawardene by looking at the poster.

Sehwag was pretty useful. Can't remember the series (might have been against AUS) but I do remember him outbowling the specialist spinners in the team who were really stinking it up.

Clyde Walcott. Did a fair bit of keeping and also some fast medium.
Walcott was actually a really good keeper until he gave up the gloves due to back problems and having secured his position as a batsman in the team. By everything I read, he was better against spin than Dujon.

Nowhere near the best batsman who isn't a batsman, but I wonder whether Jack Leach would be worth considering as an opener.
