Well done
About to leave for home from work, so will add one for tonight without waiting for Engle.
The Test record for this individual feat is shared by two people and was set in these two matches :
England v NZ, Edgbaston, 1999 http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/68/68018.html
and
India v SL, Colombo 1997-98,
http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/64/64454.html
(It is not something that is hidden, it can be read off the scorecard.)
The corresponding first class record for this was broken in dubious circumstances last year in county cricket. Who holds that first class record ?
Let's see if this requires a team effort

Someone at least give this a try. Maybe we can have SJS format.
The previous first class record (the one that was broken in 2006) was set by a Sri Lankan in this match : http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/79/79472.html

Is it something to do with the 99s? (I was hoping that Jason would take care of this one)
No
Hint - the players who did it in the two Test matches both scored < 50, but the Sri Lankan batsman scored > 50
Just this match
Extending the hint - the record for ODIs is, IIRC, 22, for Tests it is less than 50, the Sri Lankan scored more than 50 and the guy who set the fc record last year is the only batsman to score a 100 while doing so.

Runs were gifted to manufacture a result in that innings it should be mentioned
Which somehow makes it less of a record. Anyways good question Tap.
OK, here's my question :
Assuming a minimum qualification of 2000 Test runs total (to remove any oddities), which cricketer has the biggest difference between his home and away Test batting average ?
