then came the two australian capitulations against laker and lock in the tests. harvey made 11 as australia were bowled out for 143 and forced to follow on in the third test played on a turning pitch at headingley. he then contributed 69 of 140 in the second innings of the third test at headingley, when the rest of the team struggled to deal with laker and lock, who spun england to an innings victory. it was the first time australia had suffered an innings defeat in a test since 1938. however, harvey was unable to repeat his defiant form over the next three weeks. the fourth test in manchester was the low point, when harvey managed a pair, falling both times to laker, who took a world record 19 wickets. australia were routed by an innings in what is known as "laker's match" to concede the ashes 2–1. the debacle at old trafford was part of a three-week trough during which harvey scored only 11 runs, including three consecutive ducks in a 17-day period that yielded not a solitary run.
