#2 The batting depth
Since the debacle of the 2015 World Cup, English cricket underwent a cricketing revolution and the results have been exemplary. The current English batting line-up bats deep, with the likes of Adil Rashid, who is a capable batsman, coming in at no. 10, the English batting line-up is scary, to say the least.
With the ODI games nowadays being decided by the virtue of batting shootouts thanks to the lop-sided laws of the game favoring the batsmen, the team with the most batting resources seem to be best equipped in lifting the trophy and this is a major reason for English fans to smile at the moment.
An even more amazing fact is that none of these batting talents can be attributed to having a poor strike rate which is almost sin in modern ODI cricket. The likes of Alex Hales, Eoin Morgen, Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes can all easily bat with more than 150 strike rates thus making the opposition bowlers run for cover.
