Input: Despite Sunday's defeat, England deserve great credit for winning back the Ashes. At the start of the summer they were being written off - some said they wouldn’t win a single match against New Zealand or Australia. As we have seen in this Test, the series has taken quite a bit out of the players mentally and some of the guys who haven’t played in a full Ashes series before will be exhausted. So make no mistake, this has been a magnificent performance from a young England side. A lot of the credit must go to the captain. After losing 5-0 in Australia it would have been easy for Alastair Cook to say ‘Right, I’m going to carry on batting, I’ll become the best England player there’s ever been - someone else can do this job.’England reclaimed the Ashes despite an innings defeat in the fifth TestThey next face Pakistan in the UAE and No 1-ranked South AfricaCaptain Alastair Cook deserves a lot of credit for choosing to carry onAustralia's batting lost them the series and their selection was poorEngland remain one-dimensional and need to fit in a frontline spinner
