Akram is a borderline allrounder.Akram has 3 centuries If I am not mistaken. One of them came against Murali and Co.

"A dream cricketer. At his best Wasim Akram plays like most of us would wish to. He has complete mastery over swing and seam, and sometimes moves the ball both ways in one delivery. All this comes at high speed from a quick, ball-concealing action, and is backed up by the threat of a dangerous bouncer or deceptive slower delivery. Akram is rated by many as the best left-arm fast bowler of all time, and his career record certainly bears that out - along with the high regard of his contemporaries. He hit like a kicking horse, but batsmanship was one skill in which Akram underachieved..."Akram has 3 centuries If I am not mistaken. One of them came against Murali and Co.
It's a tight call.Akram is a borderline allrounder.
That's fair.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.
The definition of a specialist!That's fair.
I'll go with Dilshan. Mainly a batter who batted in the middle order, also opened, excellent in the field, bowled spin, kept wicket and did it in all 3 formats.
Neither of those players played with their feet rooted to the spot either.Hadlee has 33 sixes to only 7 from Woakes, so is a better batter
tbh I don’t rate Bradman that highly because of this.Hadlee has 33 sixes to only 7 from Woakes, so is a better batter
Tim Southee with his 86 Test sixes.....tbh I don’t rate Bradman that highly because of this.
Knott was a proper keeper, no question. And he was a good enough batsman to make two hundreds against mid-1970s Australia and another against the great WI attack in 1976. But he wasn't in the side just for his batting and despite his keeping, unlike, say, Parks in a previous generation. The feeling at the time was that Taylor was an even better keeper, but I don't know how clear-cut that was. Sometimes there's an assumption that a better batsman must be a slightly inferior keeper, even if that isn't actually the case.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.
