Rachael,
You say you don't need an all-rounder and then point out that with Gilchrsit batted at 7... well in many ways Gilchrist is the all-rounder. Not in the traditonal sense, but in the sense that he covers two bases.
IMO Gilchrist is an all-rounder

You can teach yourself to bat better, but you cannot make a batsman who does not have the natural talent.
Ponting, for example, plays the ball just that bit earlier than most people. His natural hand-eye co-ordination means he reads length much quicker and gets into a much better postion to play it. This cannot be taught, it cannot be learnt.
