England's impressive World T20 ended ultimately in a devastating final-over defeat to the West Indies in the final...
But there were plenty of positives to take from the tournament. Sky Sports' Mark Butcher rates the team's efforts...
Jason Roy 8/10
183 runs at 30.00; Strike-rate: 148.78; 1x 50; Highest Score: 78
He silenced some doubters. I'm really pleased England stuck with him after his disappointing form in the South Africa series. He hit that match-winning knock in the New Zealand semi-final, 42 against Sri Lanka, and got England off to a flier in the South Africa chase. He would be a nine, but for a duck in the final.

Alex Hales 5/10
66 runs at 13.20; SR: 111.86; HS: 28
It didn't quite work out for him at the top of the order, which can happen, just a couple of partnerships of note with Roy, including helping England get off to that flier against South Africa. The back injury which meant he missed the Afghanistan game may have affected him. A slightly disappointing tournament.
Joe Root 10/10
249 runs at 29.80; SR: 146.47; 2x 50; HS: 83
Two wickets at 11.00; Economy: 11.00; Best Bowling: 2-9
Superb, full marks. He has the game for all formats, all conditions. He is an incredibly mature performer, and the batsman of the tournament for me. He even pitched in with a couple of big wickets with his off-spin in the final, even more reason to give him 10 out of 10.

Eoin Morgan 6/10
66 runs at 13.20; SR: 111.86; HS: 27no
He gets top marks as captain, but didn't perform at all with the bat, so somewhere in the middle is about right. He led the team really well, with his captaincy not reflecting the fact he wasn't scoring any runs. That takes some doing and is a real feather in his cap.
Jos Buttler 8/10
191 runs at 47.75; SR: 159.16; 1x 50; HS: 66no
![Jos Buttler again proved his class in T20 cricket ahead of an extended spell in India in the IPL](https://e2.365dm.com/16/03/768x432/jos-buttler-england-world-t20-half-century_3437759.jpg?20160326160620)
World class. Excellent with the gloves, and brilliant blasting runs down the order for England. Up there as perhaps the most exciting wicket-keeper batsman in the T20 format, with MS Dhoni and Quinton de Kock his only real competition.
Ben Stokes 6/10
56 runs at 14.00; SR: 169.69; HS: 15
Four wickets at 44.75; Econ: 9.58; BB: 3-26
Despite the costly final over in the final against the West Indies - which could have happened to anyone - at times with the ball he was outstanding. Had a bit of a rough time of it with the bat, not really making too much of a contribution, which knocks his score down slightly, although he was brilliant as always in the field.

Moeen Ali 5/10
56 runs at 28.00; SR: 119.14; HS: 41no
Five wickets at 26.00; Econ: 9.35; BB: 2-34
Moeen had a quiet time of it, just the one big game with bat and ball against Afghanistan really. England had the option of Liam Dawson, who perhaps could have come in, but he didn't do too much wrong, if a little underused.
Chris Jordan 7/10
32 runs at 16.00; SR: 94.11; HS: 15
Six wickets at 31.33; Econ: 8.17; BB: 4-28

His confidence is growing game by game as a death bowler, doing it as well anyone ever has for England. He is someone who has attracted at bit of stick at times through his England career, but he is an immensely talented cricketer and athlete who has truly enhanced his reputation in this tournament.
David Willey 7/10
41 runs at 20.50; SR 132.25; HS: 21
10 wickets at 15.90; Econ: 7.57; BB: 3-20
I was a little surprised before the tournament at talk that if England were only going to play one of their two left-armers, it might be Reece Topley picked. Only because Willey offers so much with the bat and in the field, as well as swinging the new ball. He ended up having a terrific tournament.

Adil Rashid 6/10
Five wickets at 32.00; Econ: 8.42; BB: 2-18
Perhaps not quite as effective as he and everyone else thought he might be in India. A combination of factors, in particular the surprising lack of turn on the pitches England played on.
Liam Plunkett 7/10
Two wickets at 51.00; Econ: 6.37; BB: 1-23
He was terrific when he came in and should be in all England teams in white-ball cricket, simply because he has real pace and can hit the top of the bat. Had a real impact.

James Vince 5/10
22 runs at 22.00; SR 122.22; HS: 22
Vince gave a clue as to what he might offer in the future and was unlucky not to get more opportunities, but he adds real depth to the squad and will get his chance at some point.
Reece Topley 4/10
One wicket at 55.00; Econ: 13.20; BB: 1-22
![Reece Topley struggled in the opening two games of the tournament, but will bounce back says Butcher](https://e2.365dm.com/16/02/768x432/south-africa-celebrate-reece-topley-woe-v-england-1st-t20i_3418471.jpg?20160219194453)
A tough baptism to a world tournament for him, but he showed promise in the South Africa series and will come back strongly I'm sure.
