The England cricket team had the nation gripped in the World Cup final earlier this month as for the first time we could all watch the nail-biting match on telly. What a brilliant achievement against the odds.

The difference between their performance four years ago and this year was remarkable. They were an unrecognisable team. Despite the numerical odds stacked against them in the last over, their tenacity, their courage, their belief in each other and their belief that they could win was what made the difference.
