He's clearly a very good player, but one who's bat average is still 10-15 runs higher than it should be had he played 10 years ago.

He's clearly a player who is completely different when the ball moves in the air or seams/bounces. But Australia seem content to never produce a pitch that challenges this, so he'll probably go on batting huge numbers on roads, it helps his cause. Australia probably learnt after south Africa got into him, never produce result wickets again.
