What is a home-track bully to you?

[Fuller Pilch]

We'll he's much better away.... But he's not really a bully (except Wankhede)

At Wankhede:
2 mat 25 wkts @15.4
Rest of the career:
19 mat 60 wkts @35
It's absurd really

That's true, but he has still played key roles in winning tests in the UAE, SL, and Eng.

so I was having this conversation with @Coronis, and we seemed to have different definitions of a HTB

My definition – I think a player is a HTB when their "bullying" IE performance and excellence only manifests at home and not away from home. For example, If someone averages 70 at home and 50 away, I would not consider them a HTB because they are excellent both ways even if the degree is different for home and away. But if someone averages 70 at home and 35 away, then clearly, they are condition reliant and need their home pitches to be excellent in any relevant capacity, Examples – Jayawerdene, Warner and such. IE, Home pitches being needed to achieve excellent results.

The Other – The other interpretation is that HTB is someone where their performance has a big disparity home to away, under this, they cite Ponting, Lara, Pollock and such as Home track bullies as their averages are substantially higher at home than away from home, but obviously, as anyone would know, those three have excellent performance in most away countries too (bar India for Ponting), under this if someone averages 70 at home and 50 abroad they are still a HTB due to the disparity in home and away performances, Examples – Pollock, Lara, Kohli and such, IE, overseas performance being lower than Home regardless of how good overseas performance is.
