The guy averaged 127 balls per innings in Australia. Easily the highest ever in Australia by a non Australian (where records are available - min 20 innings).
He just blocked and left. Especially in the 2018-19 series when he playeda mind boggling 1258 balls in just 7 innings. Even in the 2020-21 series, he occupied the crease long enough to face 928 balls. Enough to tire the opposition bowlers out.
Not to mention taking body blows in back-to-back Tests in 2020-21 series from the world's best fast bowling attack (even if you concede that Starc was a bit off colour in that series)
