Spin Allrounders vs Pace Allrounders

Michael Bates, ex-Hampshire wicketkeeper. Brilliant with the gloves but utterly useless with the bat.

Can we put mitchell johnson in the all-rounder slot? He's certainly batting better than our current actual all-rounder.

International 12th Man
The sides seem a bit heavy on "batsman who bowl", rather than "bowlers who bat". Johnson, Harris, Starc, Pattinson, Philander, Broad (hmm, based on Leeds at least....), Jordan, Kumar... might all average 20+ with the bat which gets them close to allrounder territory - at least as much as batsmen who average 40+ with the ball like Matthews.
