Cook: record breaking stats fest wherever he batted this winter - outstanding, and sweat-free!
Anderson: led the bowling attack with maturity and skill, his economy rate was a session winner on a number of occasions
Trott: the answer to England's problem position with a really solid series
Strauss: slightly patchy with the bat, but very positive, implemented the tactical plans superbly
Swann: patient and still threatening in not very friendly conditions, bit more with the bat would have been nice
Bell: looked excellent but missed a couple of opportunities to shine in difficult circumstances
Pietersen: lots of runs and 1 major innings, cant help thinking one more hundred would have added to his credibility
Prior: kept wicket really well, taking lots of key catches, weighed in with runs at the end of the series
Finn: could have been the weakest link and was targetted by the Aussies but kept his head and got a lot of wickets early in the series, fitness let him down but a great start to his ashes career
Tremlett: came in and showed his physical prowess to make some telling contributions which may well take him into the Summer
Bresnan: came in and kicked the Aussies when they were down, they had been softened up a bit by then but still useful, shows our strength in depth in the bowling department
Collingwood: can you be in the England team for your catching? Probably not.
Broad: very unlucky to get injured when he did, he bowled tight with intelligence for not much reward
