He is an aggressive lower-order batsman; his batting ability and statistics (1,000 test runs at an average generally in excess of 20) lead many observers to regard him as potential all-rounder.

They consider him to be an allrounder as he has ability with the bat as well as being a strike bowler. Whilst he is not in the Flintoff category of being an allrounder, he certainly can handle the bat as he has shown on many occasions for Australia. England 2005 and Johannesburg 2006 come to mind.

No idea, apart from the fact that, with a couple of exceptions, channel 9 is not exactly packed with cricketing experts.
Lee is certainly not an all -rounder in the traditional sense of the phrase.
Rather, he is an excellent bowler who is a capable batsman...but there are loads of those. Equally , there are plenty of batsmen who can also bowl a bit. Likewise, it doesn't make them "all-rounders"
Gilchrist is more of a genuine all-rounder than Lee is, as a keeper/batsman..

He is a brilliant all rounder he can make a standard 3-35 runs every game and that is good for a pace bowler like him
He is also an awesome Bowler, with speeds exceeding into the 140's to 155 kilometres per hour it doesnt suprise how many wickets he takes.
Also he is a slogga, that means he belts the deliveries just to boost the final tally for the match, He may get out on 1,2,3 etc it doesnt matter he still gives his fair share of the bat.

Very Simple, since channel 9 is an Australian Channel, they out of patriotic feeling say so.
similarly SACHIN TENDULKAR and VIRENDRA SEHWAG are STILL considered to be great batsmen by Gavaskar and Shastri.

Because he can bat pretty well.
He's made a few test half centuries and one day half centuries but no 100's yet.
i would still consider warney or gillespie more of an all-rounder

He was hammered as a batsman against the English attack (last ashes) and gave them NOTHING!
