Most wickets? :... Anderson...Well he is three short of the pace..

Most runs? :... Strauss...YESSS!

Worst player? :... Flintoff...

Frustrating tail ender? :...Johnson ...

Surprise package? :...Ponting...

Any other ? :... Brett Lee will lose his cool on the field with his skipper...

Well Not very bad I guess.

Andrew Strauss as top run getter was spot on.

Flintoff was as close to being the worst player as anyone considering the hype.

And but for Monty forgetting number eleven is not supposed to bat well the result might yet have been 2-2

PS I think Ponting did manage to surprise all those who were writing him off with the bat.
