Chris Old played first class cricket for 20 years between 1966 and 1985 and was a regular member of the England side for a decade. A skillful and accurate right arm swing bowler and powerful late order left handed hitter, he was once described by his England Captain Mike Brearley as a talent to rival Ian Botham. He won his Yorkshire cap in 1969 and was named as the Cricket Writer's Club Young Cricketer of the year in 1970. Despite being a fine natural athlete, standing 6 feet 3 inches and possessing a glorious natural sideways on action, his career was hampered by regular injury problems and his tendency to fall prey to 'niggles' in his back and legs became legendary in the game.

He famously took four wickets in five balls on the opening day of the Test Match against Pakistan at Edgbaston on the first of June 1978, the wicketless third ball of the series being a no ball. Bowling at pace from the City End, the second ball of his 19th over was top edged by Wasim Raja to keeper Bob Taylor before his third ball nipped back though the gate to remove Wasim Bari's off stump. Old's fourth ball, the no-ball, was edged by Iqbal Qasim into the ground but Qasim nicked a late outswinger to the keeper off the next legitimate delivery before Sikander Bakht found the safe hands of Graham Roope at second slip. Old thus equalled the record of four wickets in five balls set by Maurice Allom on his Test debut at Christchurch in 1929-30, a feat which has since been repeated by Pakistan's Wasim Akram.
