H.H. Stephenson — Surrey Professional Who Would Captain the First Australia Tour

Heathfield Harman Stephenson, a surgeon's son from Esher, made his Surrey debut in 1853 and through the second half of the 1850s established himself as one of the leading professional all-rounders in the country — a fast-roundarm bowler, occasional wicket-keeper and capable middle-order batsman. He toured North America with Parr in 1859 and would, two years later, captain the first English tour of Australia.
