[ Poll ] Is Cremer an allrounder?

Post by brmtaylor.com admin »

There was a famous quote on this forum that spinners couldn't be allrounders.
Having now scored a Test century (even before taking a 5-fer) what does that make Sir Graeme?

Cremer is only a ray of hope among the bunch of loosers, always do something with bat or ball

Only thing I know about him is to misspell his name every time I write it in full from now on, so that the forum enforced knighthood doesn't kick in :)

Hail Graeme Creamer :)

Cremer is by no-means an allrounder. His batting is decent but his bowling is mostly garbage. Most of the wickets he takes are because of the pressure our seamers build-up. They don't get the rewards unfortunately, Cremer swoops in instead and takes the accolades, a glory-hunter if ever there was one.

Whats more,
Id like to see him take proper wickets instead of tailenders having a whack at the end, or in a T20.

Batting average of 16 and bowling average of 52 doesn't really scream all rounder, but looking at those stats it's hard to figure out what he is. For Zimbabwe standards you could say he's and all rounder as no Zim allrounders have higher batting averages than their bowling ......

he is working on it and I hope he keeps doing so and plays for us as long as Herath has. maybe in 2/3 years with a few more big knocks in we could actually take a chance with him as an all rounder on a flat wicket. test cricket suits his simple batting style because there is no scoreboard pressure. as for now he is not a bad number 8 at all

His bowling has potential. Just needs to cut the bad balls. Never rated his batting, but its improved a lot.

Has the potential to avaerage 20,mmaybe eveb 25 with the bat. And bring that bowling average to around 35. Then he would be a genuine all rounder.
