Post their horrendous campaign in the ICC World Cup 2015, England have made a drastic change in their attitude and how they go about expressing themselves in the limited overs versions of the game.

The batting line-up is clearly among the best in the world currently, matching India’s enormous talent and skill. Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, and Alex Hales make for a world beating batting line-up.

And this batting line-up was in full flow in Grenada en route to a stupendous 419 runs with Root, Morgan, and Buttler mauling centuries. None more dominating and mind-boggling like Buttler's 150 off 77 balls.

England sure did struggle against the pace and bounce of the Windies bowlers in St Lucia, but considering the pitches and conditions that would be on offer in the World Cup, England surely still remain favorites to win the marquee tournament.
