Andrew Strauss says England's 4-0 series whitewash over India is the best his side have ever played as a group.
The England skipper describes his side's performance as "outstanding" after they beat India by an innings and eight runs at the Oval.
The rags to riches story of England's rise from the bottom to the top of the world rankings features plenty of big-name stars but the roles of several supporting actors should not be overlooked.
Captain Andrew Strauss, his team-mates and Coach Andy Flowerhave received most of the plaudits, while many have noted the importance of former coach Duncan Fletcher and ex-skipper Michael Vaughan in steering England towards the summit.
But over the past decade or so, several other figures have played fundamental roles in helping transform England into an ultra-professional winning machine.
