England's final performance man for man

MARCUS TRESCOTHICK 8/10
His form tapered off towards the end of the one-day programme, but he was England's inspiration at the start. Without his two unbeaten hundreds and an 86, Vaughan's young side would not have gained the confidence and belief they showed on Saturday.

VIKRAM SOLANKI 6
A sparkling hundred at The Oval highlighted his undoubted talent, but five scores under 10 show how vulnerable he can be early on if the conditions offer assistance to bowlers. England will require greater consistency from Solanki, but not at the cost of the odd match-winning innings. His fielding at backward point has been outstanding.

MICHAEL VAUGHAN 7
He made an excellent start to his time as captain, always looking in control and attacked his opponents whenever he could. His confidence grew as he settled into the job and this had a positive effect on his batting. He must bat in England's top three from now on.

ANTHONY MCGRATH 5
It was in one-day cricket that the selectors expected the Yorkshire captain to shine. During England's 10 matches however McGrath failed to give the impression he can cut it at this level. He is a solid and reliable old pro, but lacks the dynamism to win matches on his own, which is something a No 4 has to be capable of achieving.

ANDREW FLINTOFF 8
During the last month we have seen the full potential of this highly talented all-rounder. With the bat there is still an element of hit-or-miss about his cricket, but the bowling of the 25-year-old has been exceptional throughout both tournaments. The challenge now is to take this form into the Test arena. If he can England have a special player.

JAMES TROUGHTON 3
In five matches the attacking left-hander scored only a disappointing 36 runs. His vulnerability outside off-stump was exposed on more than one occasion and is a matter that needs working on. Like Solanki his electric fielding added to the positive image of England under Vaughan.

ROBERT KEY 3
If Key makes it as an England player it is likely to be in Test cricket rather than the shortened version of the game. Limited opportunities - two - did not allow him to push his credentials. The Kent opener looks better in white than blue.

RIKKI CLARKE 5
The Surrey all-rounder has not had a great deal to do during the past month because of the nature of several England victories. With the bat the 21-year-old has a touch of class about him, but his bowling needs to improve before he can be classified as a true all-rounder. In the field he was excellent.

CHRIS READ 8
His performances during these one-day matches will have reassured the selectors. They now have no reason to worry about a replacement for Alec Stewart. Behind the stumps the Nottinghamshire keeper went unnoticed - which is always a good sign - and with the bat he showed the ability to play match-winning innings.

ASHLEY GILES 5
If keeping things tight was all England wanted the Warwickshire spinner to do then Giles performed reasonably well and his tactic of bowling over the wicket was justified. Through taking only three wickets in eight games this defensive approach cannot be called a success and I would rather see him trying to get people out.

RICHARD JOHNSON 7
The Somerset pace man bowled well in each of the games he played. His aggressive away-swing bowling was just what England needed after opening bursts from Anderson and Gough. The fitness of the 28-year-old remains a concern, but England should use him as much as they can while he is still capable. Pinch-hitting at number three is not his forte.

DARREN GOUGH 8
I questioned Gough's selection for the NatWest Challenge and Series. I was wrong. The fast-bowler has fully justified his inclusion with some high-quality bowling which improved as the tournament progressed. His experience has been invaluable and he has become an ideal foil for Anderson at the other end.

JAMES ANDERSON 8
The garden of the Lancashire fast bowler just keeps getting rosier and rosier. Anderson took at least one wicket in each of the eight games he played in and 19 in total. With such a strike rate England could not care less about his unpredictability because this 21-year-old has a special talent.

STEPHEN HARMISON 4
Only played at Bristol where Zimbabwe were bowled out for 92. Figures of 0 for 18 off three overs do not suggest his bowling is yet suited to the needs of one-day cricket. This fast bowler still needs to be persevered with though, because in the middle of these games England may need someone with his attributes.

KABIR ALI 5
Made his debut in the abandoned match at Headingley, but failed to bat or bowl. At some time England need to find out if the Worcestershire seamer has what it takes. His drink carrying was certainly up to it.
