Is David Warner the worst home-ground bully ever?

[Tyberious Funk]

Has currently played 110 tests, scored almost 8,500 runs at an average of 44. For an opener, that's a damn good record. In fact, it's a damn good record anywhere in the order. But his average away from Australia, is in the low 30s.

My guess is that he has one of the biggest differences in home vs away record of any player to have played a substantial number of tests. His differential between home and away is ~16 runs per innings.

Is there anyone that would come close to that?

16 can't be right. I think your maths is a bit off. To be low 30s, must be ~26

Probably. Playing well today so probably no need to s**t on him though.

And up there with Dessie Haynes, Jayawardena, Doug Walters, Shiv Chanderpaul. Some very good players have done a lot better at home.

Bear in mind that's a stat from 2006.

 

[big_e]

Jardine is even better, though he didn't play much.

 

[Gough]

Not surprised to see Mudasser Nazar on the list, he was always picked to tour down here and I could never understand why.

Yep. Couple of additions since then

How do you feel about Allan Border - 46 at home



57 away?

 

[Black Diamond]

Warner is what he is. A super-talented player with some flaws who has also done some remarkable things on the field.

Freak.

 

[wagstaff]

The thing about Warner's overseas Test record is that it was petty impressive in the 2014-15 period but rapidly fell away after that.

Didn't reach 70 once in his final 21 overseas Tests yet was a permanent fixture in the side while the likes of Khawaja and Head (just this year) were left out because of issues they had in those conditions.

Whoops.... yes, 26.

So he's playing well today... at Perth. After a completely shizen Ashes. Seems like an ideal time to s**t on him.

 

[Balls In]

Correct

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

He'd have to be on the podium. I was too young to see much of Doug Walters but apparently he was a waking wicket in England.

 

[Hawksboy72]

I see Warner as a rich man's Michael Slater, but a poor man's Matty Hayden.

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Equal with Hayden

I think they only took Dougie Walters on tours of England because he was one of Rod Marsh and Ian Chappell's favourite drinking buddies.

 

[PhatBoy]

The two things he will always be able to at least look back on with a bit of fondness is his trip to Bangladesh where he saved Australia’s blushes with one century that prevented a complete smashing and another that squared the series and prevented a 2-0 defeat, and his performances in SA where even allowing for the relative similarity of the conditions to Australia, he put in some huge performances against some of the greatest attacks of the modern era in their home conditions

 

[revo333]

I didn't realise his career average was under 45, with the way some people carry on like he is an all time great I assumed it would have been atleast 47-48.
