Have more than one bowler as an all-rounder? (4,7,4)

I believe the answer is:

wear several hats

'as an all-rounder?' is the definition.
(someone with many roles might 'wear several hats')

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for wear several hats that I've seen before include "have quite a few different roles" , "Over the years an Ascot lady may" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
