Chanderpaul and Yousuf: Average in away Tests

Chanderpaul and Yousuf: Average in overseas ODI's

Although Chanderpaul’s average of 45.05 in away tests is staggering, it is quite low when compared with his home average of 58.36. His batting style was highly effective on the slow and dry West Indian surfaces and hence he found it easier to pile up big scores on these surfaces.

However he faced problems in making big scores on the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia. He scored five fifties in Australia but failed to make a hundred.

The left-hander played only six Tests in Pakistan and was constantly troubled by the Pak bowlers. His average of 32.54 in Pakistan has affected his overall away average in Tests.

In the shorter format of the game, barring neutral venues, he maintained consistency.

Mohammad Yusuf too enjoyed batting on home pitches and scored at an astonishing average of 65.25 runs per innings in Tests.

However, his below par performances in Australia (avg-31.88) , India (33.73) and South Africa (26.10) dented his overall average. His ODI figures also reveal the same tale.

Chanderpaul’s better average in overseas ODIs makes him a winner in this segment.
