England in Champions Trophy: Inconsistent Three Lions ready to take leap of faith again with Bazball

The England Cricket Team will begin their ICC Champions Trophy by locking horns with eternal rivals Australia. But the Three Lions squad is not at their very best. While the batting unit of the side is not-notch, questions will definitely be raised about the inconsistent nature of the side. Keeping everything aside, Jos Buttler and Co will be desperate to better their opponent despite missing out on Jacob Bethell.

All-rounder Jacob Bethell has been ruled out of the tournament after picking up a hamstring injury in the series against India. While the team has the players who have the X-factor to turn the tide, the side’s inconsistent nature is one of their biggest flaws. Will England regain glory with their aggressive Bazball strategy?

    Strengths: Top-Notch batting order for Three Lions

    The Three Lions boast of having a very strong squad for the ICC Champions Trophy. What is even more impressive is their incredible batting lineup. Be it the top order, the middle, or the lower order, the lineup is explosive. All that remains to be seen is that explosive order can click against Australia and in the rest of the games.

    Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, and Tom Banton comprise the top order of the lineup. They have an equally better middle order which consists of Joe Root, and Harry Brook. Finally down the order, comes the ever-aggressive Liam Livingstone and the skipper himself Jos Buttler.

    Weakness: Inconsistent performance by entire squad

    The main troubling factor for the Three Lions is their inconsistent nature. They perform in patches and when tragedy befalls, the entire squad surrenders by waiving the white flag. The most recent example of the same, came in the IND vs ENG T20I series. Despite going down 2-0 they fought back to make it 2-1.

    But then they lost the entire plot, lost the series 4-1 and the ODI series 3-0. Coming to the bowling department, the side has great firing power. But then the problem arises when the firepower is damped by water. Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Mark Wood, and Saqib Mahmood provide enough options. But the injury-prone nature and inconsistent nature make the England squad hotchpotch.
