England might not have come home with the world cup, but they did "win" the battle for inclusion in the ICC's Team of the Tournament, with 4 players in the 11 (Edwards, Colvin, Brunt and Shrubsole) to Australia's 3½ (Haynes, Fields and Schutt, with Ferling named as 12th Man... er sorry... 12th "Player").
This honor is well-deserved in all four cases, with opening bat Charlotte Edwards scoring two centuries; the strike bowling partnership of Anya Shrubsole and Katherine Brunt taking 25 wickets between them (despite Shrubsole missing (in effect) two games); and Holly Colvin bowling more overs than anyone else in the tournament with impressive economy and control.
