Showed mettle and nous in the Smith and Mathews incidents, confirming a flourishing captaincy style. 48 runs from four knocks an unfamiliar failure.
Joe Denly 5
The opening partnership did not flourish at all in the ICC Champions Trophy. Wasted a couple of good starts, especially in the semi final against Australia with a poor shot in the middle of a collapse.
Owais Shah 7
Hit himself back into form against South Africa in stunning style. More of this please, as the jury remains out on his innings-building ability at number three.
Paul Collingwood 8
Fluent and aggressive, he represented a team effort to play with more freedom. He took only one wicket but bowled tidily.
Eoin Morgan 7
The team’s Jekyll and Hyde with the bat. At his inventive and explosive best early on, but was becalmed by the tight bowling of New Zealand and Australia. A decent wicket-keeping understudy.
Luke Wright 6
An under-pressure 48 in the semi final has earned him more chances. More consistency needed with the bat, and for that matter, with the ball.
Tim Bresnan 7
His swashbuckling batting effort against Australia suggested an all-round future; his unthreatening bowling did not. Needs to do more with the ball to become a realistic first change option and help improve Englands odds of winning.
Stuart Broad 7
It is hard to argue with 10 wickets from three matches, but the suspicion remains that he is too keen to take wickets. Test batting form yet to be transferred to coloured clothing.
Graeme Swann 4
With the seamers more threatening, he took a backseat role, although he struggled to provide any real control when called upon.
James Anderson 8
Superb against Sri Lanka in bowler-friendly conditions, he was hard to get away when batting was easier – his economy rate was 4.25 from 38.2 overs.
Graham Onions 5
Too expensive with the new ball, he too often strayed from a good line and length.
Ravi Bopara, Matt Prior, Ryan Sidebottom, Steve Davis and Adil Rashid did not feature enough to make a real impression.

Australia is rock ..they always did a great job..
Odd how Swann seems to have slowly moved backwards. He showed such potential - maybe he has been struck by the Team England malaise...
