FW’s away record doesn’t look too impressive.
It’s not bad. But certainly not great either.
Avg of 35 in Aus - 2 average tours.
Avg of 46 in Eng - 1 great tour & 2 average tours.
Never played in the subcontinent as well.

It should count in favor of Worrell if anything.

in England his record is pretty great I'd argue, fair enough on Australia

Significantly better than the other two Ws especially.

Okay, if batting only then Worrell just.
If alround, then Worrell by a decent margin.

3 tours to England
1950 : 539 runs @ 89
1957 : 350 runs @ 38
1963 : 142 runs @ 20
Overall : 1031 runs @ 46
Feel his record is boosted by 1 innings of 261.
Good record overall.

England in his time was extremely tough though.
Johan

the 260 was a match winning inning so it's not like fluff stat pad.

Going by just lists alone may not be just to Worrell, conditions should be taken into account imo.

Worrell was the 3rd best captain of all time imo.

Top 2 for me. Who are the other 2?

another thing where the answer is Hutton

Don't think he was as good as Rohit, same tier as Babar Azam imo.

Our Block's resident drunker on a Saturday night will lead a team in Tests better than Rohit
sayon basak

I bet he'll average more than 6.2 as well.
Worrell in the subcontinent for Commonwealth XI:
First-class matches: 4373 runs @ 64.30. 14 centuries. HS 285.
Unofficial "Tests": 1581 runs @ 79.05. 4 centuries. HS 285.
