Old, Boycott, Thorne, Bird and Jepson.
In a championship match at Headingley in June 1984, Warwickshire set Yorkshire a victory target of 375 in 94 overs. Yorkshire succumbed to defeat by 191 runs after they were bowled out for 183.
Chris Old took six for 46 for the Bears, completing match figures of 11 for 99 to become the first bowler to take ten wickets in a match for and against Yorkshire.
Geoff Boycott batted through Yorkshire's second innings for 55 not out from 62.3 overs. A noble attempt to stave off defeat for his team or a dogged pursuit of an asterisk?
David Thorne scored 49 not out and 20 in the match for Warwickshire.
The umpires were Dickie Bird and Arthur Jepson.
