The normal awards that everyone else has
I looked into Hayden's record at depth a while back and it's safe to say he struggled against really good quicks. The middle period of his career coincided with a lull time of pace bowlers on opposition teams, and he cashed in (which is fine, and he should). He was found out early in his career and towards the end though. And he was nowhere to be found in England 2005, which I'll always mark him harshly for.
Great player, but a FTB. And I'd have all of Hobbs, Hutton, Sutcliffe, Morris, Trumper, Lawry, Simpson, Greenidge, Haynes, Boycott and Gavaskar comfortably ahead of him as ATG openers. He's a tier below with guys like Langer, Slater, Taylor, Gooch etc. Good company to be in, but not quite elite.
