Top 5 batting teams away from home in last 5 years

#5 England

England average 31.21 away from home (excluding UAE games) which goes down further if we include their 6 games in UAE where they average just 25.06 against Pakistan, the lowest amongst all teams that have played cricket there in the last 5 years.

England’s 31.21 comes at an RPO of 2.98 over 55 innings. In 28 matches, away from home, England have lost 14 and won only 7. They lost another 5 out of the 6 they played in UAE. Interestingly, England don’t do too well at home with the bat either, averaging just 36.43, behind 5 other countries and then a sixth, Pakistan if you include the latter’s numbers at UAE, their virtual home.

England’s lower home average also explains their rather unenviable record at home, where they have lost 9 Tests, compared to 18 wins for a W/L ratio of 2 which is fifth amongst Test playing nations.
