On Tuesday 26 March (7.30pm) our guest speaker will be former England, Yorkshire and Warwickshire bowler Chris Old.

“Chilly” Old first appeared for Yorkshire as a 17-year-old 6ft 3ins fast bowler, in time he developed into a fast-medium seamer, noted for accuracy and potent late outswing, and a dangerous lower-order left-hand batter.

Chris played 46 Tests, his final two appearances were in the 1981 series against Australia; he was one of England’s unsung heroes of the incredible win over Australia at Headingley, when they became the only team in the 20th century to win a Test after following on. He came in at 252 for 8, when England’s lead was only 25, and helped Ian Botham add 67 in under an hour.

Overall, Chris played 379 first class matches taking 1070 wickets at an average of 23.48.
