Yeah one thing I noticed was that most of the South African batsmen tended to have better away records than home ones. Under-rated?

No, you're just confusing AB with ABDV. Easy mistake to make when you're unable to count to 4.

Ken Barrington has the best away average after Bradman - 69.18.
However, Mohinder Amarnath shows the biggest ever improvement when touring.
Home average = 30.44
Away average = 51.86
Difference = 21.42
Just behind Amarnath is Ken Barrington again.
Home average = 50.71
Away average = 69.18
Difference = 18.47

The differences between home and away averages is pretty interesting, but in terms of rating a player in away performances, the important bit is surely just how well they did overseas (with the usual considerations for era, opposition etc), not how it compares to their home record?

Fits in nicely with the choker narrative. Expected to win at home , less pressure away.

Hammond played the same 3 ashes series in Aus btwn the wars as Bradman. England won 2 of them comfortably and came within a delayed declaration of winning all 3. One of the reasons I'd guess, was Hammond's ability to nullify Bradman's contribution across all 3 series with his average of 75 just shading Bradman's 72.

Should just go for a run 11,174 times instead

Rajesh Chauhan averages 3.83 at home and 26 away. WAFG.

He also played four tests in the UAE, where he averaged 70.83. Cricinfo classifies those games as neutral rather than away, which would account for the discrepancy.

Any differences might be because I included neutral venues instead of just away venues.

That might be more about you being Australian though
