His county cricket career was spent mainly with Yorkshire and, latterly, Northamptonshire.
Life and career
Stevenson was born in 1955 in Ackworth, West Riding of Yorkshire.[2] He was a right-armed fast bowler, who also found occasional success as a right-handed lower order batsman, and very occasional wicket-keeper; playing for Yorkshire from 1973 to 1986, and for Northamptonshire in 1987. Stevenson took 488 first-class wickets in 188 games at an average of 28.84, with an additional 307 wickets in the one day game. He scored two first-class centuries, with a top score of 115 not out. With that innings, Stevenson became only the eighth No. 11 to make a first-class hundred, in a partnership of 149 with Geoffrey Boycott against Warwickshire at Edgbaston in 1982.[3] That partnership remains Yorkshire's all-time record for the tenth wicket.[4]
Stevenson made all his international appearances on tour with England. He travelled to
Stevenson died of complications of a stroke on 21 January 2014.[5] He was 58.
