After an unhappy time in last summer's NatWest Series, Collingwood marked his first England tour with two half centuries in three innings and some excellent fielding.

Such was his confidence, and obvious enjoyment, that he was sent in above Andrew Flintoff and Ben Hollioake and hit the winning runs in the final game to complete the clean sweep. Very much a batsman who bowls at this level, rather than a genuine all-rounder.

Left out of the team during the summer, Flintoff returned looking fitter than he has for some time and determined to do justice to a talent which has yet to flower fully at international level.

Made 46 off 47 balls, including two sixes and three fours, in the third game and looked distinctly sharp at times with the ball. Played in every game and proved himself an excellent team man.

Given the task of replacing Alec Stewart, 21-year-old Foster showed he is not yet a master of the wicket-keeper's art by dropping chances he should have held.

But time is on his side and no-one can doubt his competitive streak after a face-off with Andy Flower in third match resulted in an official reprimand. Had little opportunity to show what he can do with the bat.

Lost out to Jeremy Snape as first-choice spin bowling all-rounder, but made an impact with the ball in his one appearance at Bulawayo.

Grayson claimed the vital scalp of Grant Flower, stumped by James Foster for 96, and picked up two other wickets. Despite that, he remains an outside bet for a place in the World Cup squad.

Went into the tour without previously having played a one-day game for England and ended it looking like a seasoned performer.

Produced a superb yorker to bowl Andy Flower in the second match and the following day returned figures of five for 49 - making him only the eighth England bowler to take five wickets in a one-day innings.

Darren Gough and Andrew Caddick can no longer count themselves as automatic choices with the new ball.

Showed further signs of a growing maturity by settling into a supporting role as England's dominance meant that he did not get a bat in two of the four games he played.

His bowling was heavily reliant on deliveries angled in to the batsman, but he beat the outside edge more than once in the final match.

Handled himself well under pressure after his bowling action was queried, and later reported to the International Cricket Council, by match referee Colonal Naushad Ali.

Bowled at lively pace and was unlucky to see catches go down in the first two games. Impressed Nasser Hussain and Duncan Fletcher and will be given further opportunities.

Named Man of th Series, Knight did everything England could reasonably have expected of him at the top of the order and now has one foot on the plane for South Africa in 2003.

Knight now fills the anchor role and contributed three fifties on tour, the best an unbeaten 82 in the second game at Harare, but would like to add to his three one-day centuries - the last of them in 1998.

A somewhat surprising selection for the tour, having last played one-day cricket for England in 1998, he will not want to see replays of his dismissal in the final match too often - bowled behind his legs while sweeping one-handed.

Did not really do enough to secure a permanent place in the side, but his off-spin bowling, which brought him figures of three for 28 in the opening game, adds a useful extra string to his bow.

A frustrating tour for the Middlesex batsman, who was only picked for one match and was out second ball without scoring.

Appears to have gone backwards since his highly promising debut in last summer's NatWest Series and now has the task of regaining the faith of the selectors.

Keen, committed and an excellent tourist, Sidebottom was, however, unable to find a consistent line and length in his first two one-day appearances for England.

Often strayed too wide outside the off stump and Alan Mullally remains the left-armer most likely to make the World Cup squad in 2003.

A late call-up for the tour after James Ormond was ruled out, Silverwood had to wait until the final game for his chance.

Made the initial breakthrough with two wickets in his opening spell, but prone to bowling an occasional 'four' ball. Did enough to keep himself in the selectors' thoughts.

Called up for his first tour at the age of 28, Gloucestershire's off-spinning all-rounder was determined to enjoy every minute.

Helped see England home with an unbeaten 24 off 26 balls in the third game and finished as the second highest wicket-taker behind Matthew Hoggard. Varied his bowling intelligently and may have done enough to earn another opportunity in the future.

England wisely decided not to over-use Thorpe after a summer ruined by injuries.

Made 95 in the warm-up game against Zimbabwe A, but only made it to the middle twice in the international series and failed to find his touch. A safe pair of hands in the field.

Although his scoring rate was undeniably impressive, Trescothick should have done better than a single half century in five innings against an ordinary Zimbabwe attack.

Needs to turn good starts into big scores more consistently to be ranked alongside the likes of Gary Kirsten and Mark Waugh in one-day cricket.

The way he captained England in the fourth game was, however, one of the tours pluses.
