however, victory appeared to be far from certain when australia slumped to 4/19 on the erratic surface. harvey sent peter burge out to attack the bowling, a tactic that worked as australia won by five wickets. burge hit the winning runs after earlier being dropped. the "battle of the ridge" was the only time harvey captained australia in a test match. despite the win, harvey was not prominent in terms of his individual contribution, scoring 27 and four. harvey described the win as "propbably my proudest moment. we really got on the french champagne that afternoon. i knew it'd be my only test match as captain and, being at lord's, i decided to make the best of it."
