Time and again you see Philander being dismissed by people in discussions of great bowlers because apparently he is a home bully (or a green track bully)
However, his record is actually good overall. Just because he has an insanely ATG home record (which others dont so certainly not as simple), his away record is good too.
His averages away include:
Australia: 30
England: 23
India: 20
NZ: 22
UAE: 23
Only Sri Lanka from top teams is where he has a bad average
Ofcourse his home average of 18 is unreal but its certainly not a case that he is a dud everywhere else.
Also he's played more away and neutral tests than home tests.
