Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar (Away from home)

[Johan]

This has been done before in the context of who is better overall, but who is better just away from home? Lara obviously is better at home.

 

[Johan]

Imo

England – Either way
Pakistan – Gavaskar
New Zealand – leaning Gavaskar
Australia – Brian Lara
Sri Lanka – Brian Lara, one of the GOAT tours.

Lara also has a good record in South Africa but Sunil has a good record in the West Indies.

 

[DrWolverine]

Very close.

Not saying it is a factor in this poll but Brian Lara not averaging 50+ in any country overseas is shocking.

Ignore the average and compare the actual runs output. They both have roughly the same run output: 47.7 for Sunny and 47.4 for Brian.
