An all-rounder is a cricketer who regularly performs well at both batting and bowling. Although all bowlers must bat and quite a few batsmen do bowl occasionally, most players are skilled in only one of the two disciplines and are considered specialists. Some wicket-keepers have the skills of a specialist batsman and have been referred to as all-rounders, but the term wicketkeeper-batsman is more commonly applied to them. Among the greatest all-rounders have been Imran Khan, George Hirst, Wilfred Rhodes, Chris Cairns, Shaun Pollock, Keith Miller, Garfield Sobers, Ian Botham, Jacques Kallis, Kapil Dev, Richard Hadlee, W. G. Grace, Mushtaq Mohammad, Lance Klusener, and Walter Hammond. With the advent of T20 cricket, the role of all rounder has changed prodigiously, with the vast majority of contemporary all-rounders typically fulfilling the role of an aggressive batsmen and a supplementary bowler.
There is no precise qualification for a player to be considered an all-rounder and use of the term tends to be subjective. The generally accepted criterion is that a "genuine all-rounder" is someone whose batting or bowling skills, considered alone, would be good enough to win them a place in the team for which they play. Another definition of a "genuine all-rounder" is a player who can through both batting and bowling (though not necessarily both in the same match), consistently "win matches for the team" (i.e., propel his/her team to victory by an outstanding individual performance). By either definition, a genuine all-rounder is quite rare and extremely valuable to a team as he effectively operates as two players.
"Have you ever been under?
All the way under
Like I have, oh like I have
It'll make you wonder
Make you wonder
If it don't make you mad
If it don't make you mad
I don't trust a man that ain't been lost
I don't trust a woman ain't been double-crossed
Have you ever been under?
All the way under
Like I have, oh like I have
Have you ever been sorry, really sorry
For what you've done, for what you've done
Well you should call me, yeah, you better call me
Because I'm another one, I'm another one
Well, I've tore the heart out of many a girl
Just to see what she loved me for
Have you ever been sorry, really sorry
For what you've done, what you've done
Have you ever been under, all the way under
Like I have, oh like I have
Body torn asunder, torn asunder
All your good gone bad, all your good gone bad
I'm swimming upstream and it's dark and it's cold
I'm looking for a house made of solid gold
Have you ever been under, all the way under like I
have?
Woah, like I have
Have you ever been broken, really broken down to size?
Right down to size
Not one word spoken, not one word spoken that you might
rise, that you might rise
Can't come up and my lungs about to burst
I'm feeling weighed down by an ill-gotten purse
Have you ever been under, all the way under
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)
Se dice que el ansioso
esconde un alma en paz,
viajero o misionero
va lejos mucho ms
Si miro hasta el cielo
o dentro mo, no s,
ya nada importa mucho
si peudo con sinceridad
saber que, lo intent.
Como el mar y su creciente
va la gente al andar
como el viento y su corrida
va la vida al andar
como el sol a la maana
que reclama el andar
atesoro el momento
vivo y siento
es mi intento
y lo hago al andar.
Viaj por tantos lados
en la imaginacin
estamos siempre andando
sin tiempo ni razn
quin sabe las respuestas
quin puede elegir
si existen diferencias
sabemos que hay, en cada ser
deseos de vivir.
Como el mar y su creciente
va la gente al andar
como el viento y su corrida
va la vida al andar
como el sol a la maana
que reclama el andar
atesoro el momento
vivo y siento
es mi intento
y lo hago al andar.
La brisa que acaricia
con suavidad el mar
y todas las gaviotas
que vuelan sin cesar
lo veo y lo siento
y no lo s explicar
esplndido momento
sentir llover
y el sol nacer
vivir y disfrutar
Como el mar y su creciente
va la gente al andar
como el viento y su corrida
va la vida al andar
como el sol a la maana
que reclama el andar
atesoro el momento
vivo y siento
es mi intento
y lo hago al andar.

I wanna go down. Sweet come around
Don't ask me where. I'm going there
I will always cover. You will always wonder
Sick of it all. You make me feel so small
Better off dead. Before you forget
I wanna cover now baby
Don't wanna forget
Don't make me wonder baby
Just get something so sweet
I wanna go down. Sweet come around
