In the last of his retrospective series around the 18 counties, Jeremy
Blackmore asks Neil Smith, Tim Munton, Andy Moles and Paul Smith about
Warwickshire’s unparalleled cross-format domination in the mid-1990s
Masterminded by innovators Bob Woolmer and Dermot Reeve, Warwickshire dominated county cricket in the mid-1990s, writing themselves into the history books with an unprecedented treble in 1994 and following it with a double in 1995.
A competitive Bears squad were boosted by two of the greatest overseas stars. Brian Lara amassed over 2,000 runs in their 1994 Championship success including a world-record 501 not out – not to mention six centuries in seven innings. Allan Donald spearheaded the attack in 1995 with 88 Championship wickets at just 15.48.
