Bamber takes 69 wickets as Warwickshire win County Championship

Ethan Bamber finished as the leading wicket-taker in the County Championship with 69 scalps in 14 matches as Warwickshire claimed their ninth title. The 26-year-old seamer took 32 wickets at an average of 12.71 in the Bears' final six matches after the Championship resumed in August. He claimed three of his four five-wicket hauls during that period.

Warwickshire secured 41 of a possible 42 bowling bonus points during the season. Bamber has taken more Championship wickets this year than Gus Atkinson did across three title-winning seasons with Surrey between 2022 and 2024.

Bamber has taken 103 wickets at Lord's and 67 at Edgbaston, more than at all other venues combined. Warwickshire teammates Chris Woakes and Olly Hannon-Dalby also featured in the title-winning attack.
