Match-winner Chris Wright hailed a team effort after
Warwickshire blew Durham away on the final day at Edgbaston to secure their
first win of their title defence.
The County Championship Division One champions dismissed the visitors for just 94 in their second
innings to record an emphatic 318-run victory.
Durham simply had no answer to England-hopeful Wright, who
gave the selectors a nudge with an impressive haul of 6-31 from 16 overs.
Wright was keen to deflect praise onto his fellow bowlers,
who gave Warwickshire a chance of victory in the first innings, with Keith
Barker and Chris Woakes particularly impressive in restricting Durham to 284.
"We bowled exceptionally as a unit. A lot of the guys
bowled seriously good spells – I think at one stage I was the expensive one,
going at one and a half runs per over," Wright said.
"The great thing about our attack is that we share the
wickets around. In the first innings it was Barks and Woakesy and in the second
I picked up a few. That's how we work."
The 27-year-old felt Warwickshire benefited from improved
conditions in the second half of the match. Wright, who took 62 championship
wickets in 2012, admitted he is striving for even greater consistency this
season – meaning punters should consider using their free online bets to back the Bears for further glory in 2013.
"I have been trying to start spells well and it came
out nicely in the second innings. There wasn't a gale-force wind today, unlike
earlier in the match, which made it a struggle to swing the ball. The weather
was kinder and that helped us but we took advantage really well," he
added.
Wright will look to pick up where he left off when
Warwickshire travel to Somerset for a four-day match on Thursday. Another
match-winning display could push him into contention for England's two-Test
series against New Zealand.
