The normal awards that everyone else has
Viv - "swagger"

Rick McCosker- "swathed"

McGrath - "corridor"

Englishman
It's perhaps fitting that the sport's greatest exponent gives his name to an adjective that's used to describe feats of scarcely credible dominance over one's peers and/or opposition.

Sir Donald Bradman : "Bradmanesque".

Other eponymously named terms seem all peculiar to cricket, but from the top of my head there's "Chinaman" (Puss Achong), "Bosie" (Bernard Bosenquet) &, most recently, the "Dilscoop" (Tilikaratne Dilshan).
