The normal awards that everyone else has
What an underrated cricketer was Alex Stewart.

Played 133 tests during the worst decade for English cricket. Yet ended up averaging 40 in tests.

Actually, he averaged 47 in the 51 tests he played as a specialist batsman. And not a lowly 35 in the tests as a keeper as well.

Averaraged nearly 40 opening also when serving as keeper. WAG! I think had he been asked to bat at 6 or 7 and given the gloves, England could've extracted the best of both worlds from him. He averaged 70 at no.7 playing as a keeper.

Seems his legacy as usual was determined by his slightly under par performance in Ashes and hence not remembered the same way as some others.
I always thought they should've just let him open and not made him keep. Was a weapon against pace.
