The home vs away record of Warner is there for all to see and as we know, it conjures some fierce debate. 


I've trawled the record books and when discussing a H & A record of the various players today, it is interesting to see comparisons of the 2 Indian bowlers,  Ravi and Jadeja...


Ashwin:

Wickets taken in India: 69%

Overseas: 31% 



Jadeja:

Overseas:29%


Jimmy Anderson (63% at home, 37% away) & Stuart Broad (66% home, 34% away) are also similar in their ratios. 


I know I am not comparing apples for apples (batsmen vs bowlers in this instance) but just wanted to make the point that a lot of players that are considered greats of the modern game have an overly poorer record outside of their own countries - both bowlers and batsmen alike. 


Ravi; Jadeja; Broad and Anderson are all considered masters of their craft but this is more to do with their record in their home conditions rather than their overseas achievements.


Interestingly, Kohli has scored more test 100's outside of India (14 home / 15 overseas) and more runs (4144 home / 4532 overseas) but averages 18 more in India (60.06 vs 40.36)
