On any tour, you will always have periods when things don't go as well as you hoped. But you have to fight your way through them and show enough conviction to bounce back. Your performance will be judged by what has happened at the end of the tour and that has to be remembered. This England team has some brilliant players who can stand comparison with anyone else in the world. It is down to the rest of us to rise to that level and make sure we all perform at our best and even extend those barriers.
Cricket is a team game, but it is still the individual performances which win matches.
