Warwickshire have taken their retro kit to heart. Having won a quarter-final at Chelsmford for the second time in a month the treble is still on twenty years after the legendary 1994 side achieved the feat.
Having superbly defended their totals on NatWest Blast Finals Day, they were asked to bowl second again here - as they did in the T20 quarter-final - and put in another mean display with the ball. They have now won six of their last seven matches in all competitions. They are the form team in the country.
This defence was primarily the work of the seamers who exploited conditions that offered some help far better than Essex. Having taller and certainly quicker bowlers was a major difference.
