The normal awards that everyone else has
I wouldn't go that far, he was a very good batsman, but he struggled against the better quicks most of the time. His record against England, NZ and South Africa away if pretty mediocre, and overall his record away is not great tbh. FTB and all that makes sense here.Went a lot further than that. Basically said he wouldn't have been test standard in another era.
Truth is, early in his career, Donald, Ambrose and Pollock had his measure, and by the time he came back into the team, there was a dearth of great quicks outside of the Australian team. He also went completely missing in the 2005 Ashes when England put together a well functioning pace attack.
If you are to go thru his hundreds, very few of them were made against good quicks. Something I value pretty highly when assessing who the great openers have been.
