All-rounder

In cricket, an all-rounder is a player who is good at both batting and bowling. Although all bowlers must bat at some time, many of them are not very skilled and most are not considered to be all-rounders. However, wicket-keepers who are also very good batsmen (such as Adam Gilchrist) are considered by some to be all-rounders.
