Then he ain’t no pure bat.

Excluding when he was actively bowling in a test match from his record as an allrounder makes literally zero.

I disagree. Plenty of pure bats do part time bowling. He was done as a regular bowler at that point and wouldn't have continued by his own admission if he wasn't a regular bat. Those last two to three years make his batting seem better and bowling seem worse than it actually was overall and frankly are an aberration. A fairer assessment of IK the allrounder is better off not including those years.

How are they pure bats if they’re doing part time bowling? Makes no sense.
