Batsmen with 10,000 Test runs and their achilles heel in terms of lowest average by countries
1. Sachin Tendulkar
in Pakistan, avg 40.25 of 13 inngs in 10 matches
(not bad by any means but still low compared to other Indian players in Pak)
2. Ricky Ponting
in India, avg 26.48 of 25 inngs in 14 matches
(woefully bad considering how much he has played there)
3. Jacques Kallis
in England, avg 35.33 of 25 inngs in 15 matches
(respectable but poor compared to his own teamates)
4. Rahul Dravid
in South Africa, avg 29.71 of 22 inngs in 11 matches
(poor but not surprising since prime South Africa at home was bane for nearly all subcon batsmen)
5. Alastair Cook
in New Zealand, avg 27.13 of 15 inngs in 8 matches
6. Kumar Sangakara
in West Indies, avg 34.00 of 7 inngs in 4 matches
(not enough sample size really)
7. Brain Lara
in India, avg 33.00 of 6 inngs in 3 matches
(again low sample and surprised to see how he barely played in India)
8. Shivnarine Chanderpaul
in Australia, avg 30.20 of 21 inngs in 11 matches
(not a single century there despite playing enough)
9. Mahela Jawardene
in South Africa, avg 27.88 of 16 inngs in 8 matches
(same as Dravid)
10. Joe Root
in Bangladesh, avg 24.50 of 4 inngs in 2 matches
(low sample but bad considering other players also don't play much there but still have higher stats)
11. Allan Border
in South Africa, avg 38.00 of 5 inngs in 3 matches
12. Steve Waugh
in Sri Lanka, avg 16.60 of 5 inngs in 4 matches
13. Sunil Gavaskar
in Sri Lanka, avg 37.30 of 6 inngs in 3 matches
(same as Root, Sri Lanka were new in his time and others also barely played there but still have better stats)
14. Younis Khan
in West Indies, avg 22.20 of 15 inngs in 8 matches
(shockingly poor since Windies weren't all that great in his time, Inzimam faced a much stronger WI with Walsh Ambrose but avgs 50s in WI for reference)
