If a batsman who can occasionally roll his arm over is called a part-timer (Eg Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh etc), what do you call a bowler who could ocassionally bat (Eg Chaminda Vaas, Brett Lee etc)?

'handy' is how the commentators usually put it. i've also heard 'no mug with the bat' multiple times

There's nothing sliding past you, is it?
Okay, so yesterday in the IPL thread I noted that I think more and more franchises will be looking at players who have shone in second tier T20 tournaments around the world (or are yet to break out in their first, in the case of somewhere like Australia who don't have a national second tier LO comp). So, who could the next Spencer Johnson, Paul Walter, or Riyan Parag be? Here's a few suggestions from each nation:
- I could only find BBL stats. Of last year's crop, I'd say Xavier Bartlett already is one in the IPL, and Hilton Cartwright and Ben Dwasrhuis also kinda fit.
- Michael Pepper (535 runs at 45 with a SR of almost 200 in the Blast is surely too good to go unnoticed for long), Aneurin Donald (he hit at a SR of 200 this Blast season), Matt Taylor (29 wickets at 14... only uncapped player above 25), David Payne (remains underrated as hell despite consistent good returns), Nathan Sowter (should have a BBL deal with his name written on it given his Aussie citizenship)
- competition ongoing although I'd have said Parag, Abhishek, Vishnu Vinod, Harvik Desai and Suyash Sharma last year
- Ross Adair (only Lorcan Tucker matched him in the provincial tournament this year and he smashes them in T20Is too), Cade Carmichael and Tim Tector (both are more Promising Young Player than Moneyball Player but they are the best left fit)
- Tim Robinson (perhaps more of a future star but the only batsman that really fits), Jayden Lennox (underrated left arm spinner), Ben Lister (plays for NZ sure, but never in franchise cricket, which is a shame), Bevon Jacobs (the glaring example of this on an IPL level, as a rare uncapped signing at this year's draft; he's a future superstar finisher)
- Shahab Khan is one, but Pakistan picked the rest of last year's already for their T20I side (Sahibzada, Kamran Ghulam, Omair bin Yousuf). So watch the space
- Edward Moore (appears to have learnt overnight how to bat in T20s), Jean du Plessis (not Faf but surprisingly close in terms of averages), Junaid Dawood (easily the best bowling record in the CSA Cup this year)
- Kamil Mishara (battered the provincial tournament as the clear best batsman in bowler friendly conditions), Dushan Hemantha (really deserves more praise at the T20 level, especially for his bowling), Binura Fernando (a fast bowler in T20 with an economy of 7 is quite rare)
- records seem not to exist of anything below the CPL
