Camo999
State 12th Man
Harvey, the great man, probably my all time favourite cricketer.
A century in T20 cricket initially sounded very unlikely but Harvs hit three in the first few seasons and I believe still holds the record for the most centuries.
Also remember watching him belt an attack including Ambrose and Bishop all over the MCG in about 1996 for Aus A, finishing the match by smacking Kenny Benjamin straight over the sightscreen.
Having said all that, bowling and fielding were probably the stronger parts of his game, particularly at the international level. Could swing the ball, had the famed slower ball of course, and a pretty quick bouncer and yorker. Also one of the best fielders of their own bowling.
Unfortunately never played test cricket due to the strength of the Aus side at the time, he would have been interesting to watch at that level, particularly in English conditions.
