7. Chris Woakes
Sometimes there is so much talk around England’s batting that Chris Woakes’ bowling goes unnoticed. The 32-year-old bowling all-rounder is someone who has consistently picked up wickets in the powerplay and delivered for his side time and again. His numbers are quite a perfect metric to look at his capabilities with the white-ball.
In 100 innings of bowling in ODIs so far, Woakes has managed to pick up 149 wickets. That is almost three wickets in every two matches. His bowling average is 30. 34, but the strike rate is 32.80. This implies that he picks up a wicket in every 5.2 overs in ODIs, which is quite good. His economy of 5.54 is pretty much decent given England plays on batting-friendly surfaces and Woakes has been able to take wickets in those conditions.
Apart from his bowling excellence, the Warwickshire player also possesses batting talent. He plays in a team that has a really good and long batting line-up, which doesn’t allow him to get a lot of opportunities. In 72 innings, he has scored 1315 runs at an average of 25.78. His strike rate is 90.87, which is quite alright for a batter at that position.
