Stephen Lewis Boock (b. 20 September 1951) in Dunedin is a former cricketer who played 30 Tests and 14 One Day Internationals for New Zealand.
He was a slow left arm orthodox bowler and is one of only 6 New Zealanders to have taken over 600 first class wickets.[1] After a Test against Pakistan at Wellington in 1985 he had achieved a career high of 9th place in the PriceWaterhouseCoopers rankings for Test cricket.[2]
Boock made his Test debut at Wellington in February 1978 in a historical maiden Test victory over England. He made his first overseas tour a few months later in England and in the Test Match at Trent Bridge conceded just 29 runs in a 28 over spell which included 18 maidens and 2 wickets. In 1983-84 New Zealand won their first ever series over England and Boock took 4 for 37 at Christchurch.
The following season in a Test at Sydney he had rare success with the bat and contributed 37 runs in a New Zealand record partnership of 124.
In 1984/1985 against Pakistan at Niaz Stadium he took his career best innings figures of 7 for 87.
