@ Shan - Why is Vettori classed as a bowler???
He is one of the most accomplished all-rounders in the world...

this is a t20 league, his t20 bat stats aren't impressive.

^ Similarly Mitchel Johnson too but not as good as Vettori

He averages 19 at a S/R of 123.
Not great, but some batsmen only average like 20 - 25.

Why are the likes or Sehwag and Ryder all-rounders, they bowl a few over's every five or so matches.

lol You sound like me criticising WestIndian or Dare in Fantasy Cricket about their choices of all-rounders.

But yes that is confusing, and I would add Jayasuriya there as well possibly? And White.

Well I do get worked up when people call Vettori a bowler.
His CAREER stats aren't great, but when you look at it more closely you can see what I mean.
I think it is over the last five years in tests he's averaging over 40 at a 60 plus S/R.
Yes that is tests, but it does convert to the shorter formats.
Most of the time in T20's he's coming in when he needs to hit it from ball one, which is why his average is low.
This is the same with 50 over stuff, but when he has come in at six he averages almost 10 more runs than he does over his career due to him getting more time in the middle.
E.g. when he play's for his DOM
Hence he is very much a genuine all-rounder...
So I'd be good if you can change what he is on the first post.

Why does it matter, if he is classified as an allrounder or a bowler? Its the abilities chosen that actually make a difference.

 

[CG123]

As I said before I just get worked up when people call Vettori a bowler.
It's more psychological than anything...

Case of OCD :P
