How much does your favourite batsman average at your home ground?

[Sudeep]

Thought of this topic as I was watching the highlights of a New Zealand - India match at Baroda, in 1994/95.

Sachin Tendulkar averages a mammoth 80.66 at Baroda in the three matches he has played here. He has hit two centuries here, with the one he hit against New Zealand being his highest ODI score at the time.

Incidentally, Tendulkar also bowled in all three of those matches, something that we rarely see of him these days.

My favourite batsman is AB De Villiers, and I don't think he has played at Taunton.. Neither has Daren Ganga..

I see those "build your self-esteem" self-hypnosis tapes are finally paying off!

yeah probably

Its a major flaw in my game..over confidence when I bat...and impatience..I get bored if I dont hit a 4 every over..early in an innings its that that usually gets me out, and no matter how much I tell myself to defend when the bowler is coming in to bowl, I still get a rush of blood and think I can welly it out of the ground...of course when it works, it great fun

i have a similar flaw actually, although by no means am i an attractive player, i bat like hoggard with the occasional attempted slog.

 

[Kweek]

Tim de Leede averages 40 odd at my home ground

 

[Jamee999]

Fred has never played an international at Grace Road.

 

[superkingdave]

Flintoff averages 32.5 with the bat and 31 with the ball at OT in Tests
In ODI's its 33.33 with the bat and 42.50 with the ball :o
First Class 30.46 with the bat and 42.65 with the ball
List A 24.63 bat and 25.18 ball
T20 31.00

Not Great!

Another afridi in the making i guess.
