Incredible batting depth
Australia have David Warner, who is arguably the best ODI batsman in the world at the moment even if rankings don't reflect that. Aaron Finch, who has formed a deadly opening partnership with Warner in both ODIs and T20Is and is capable of taking the game away all by himself. Then we have the captain, Steve Smith at No.3.
That is just the top three, when you consider the fact that they have Chris Lynn aka Lynnsanity to come in at No.4, the destructive Glenn Maxwell and all-rounders in Travis Head and Marcus Stoinis even before you go to Matthew Wade, who is good enough to open the innings but will be batting at No.7, you get an idea of just how strong Australia's batting is.
And that is before even mentioning their bowlers, who are no mugs with the bat either. Mitchell Starc has proven himself to be an explosive lower-order batsman capable of chipping in with crucial runs, both Pat Cummins and John Hastings have the power to clear the fence with ease and even James Pattinson, who is arguably the weakest of the lot, is coming on the back of an impressive domestic season with the bat.
