More tests played away than at home?

Something Away vs Home related? I’m going to say more Away runs/wickets than at home.

No, nothing about career statistics or achievements or anything like that.

Think more an individual performance (or lack thereof )

Diamond duck club. Nice one!

Bit of a woolly one this but a tribute to a fine achievement by the man facing the first ball.

They all made big scores in their last test? Something along those lines.

 

[sabso]

They all had much better ends to their test batting careers than starts, based on batting averages from their first few and last few tests.

The woolly part is how much is a few. The answer is different for each player.
