Ye jeet dikhati hai ki Warwickshire ki team mein kitna depth hai. Jab senior players fail huye, tab Pavely aur Taylor jaise young talents ne zimmedari uthayi. Lancashire ne koshish achi ki, Kate Cross ne apna poora zor lagaya, par bina solid bowling support ke aap aise totals defend nahi kar sakte. Warwickshire ne dikha diya ki unhe halke mein lena mehnga padega. Professionalism ka perfect example tha ye chase.
