after scoring 43 in the first innings, the second test in lahore came down to a run-chase for australia, with harvey and norm o'neill seemingly on schedule to win before time ran out. however, the pakistani fielders began to waste time in an attempt to foil an australian victory. they swapped the cover and midwicket fielders very slowly whenever the left and rightt-handed combination of harvey and o'neill took a single and changed the batsman on strike. to counter this, harvey deliberately backed away from a straight ball and let himself be bowled, throwing his wicket away for 37. this allowed benaud to come in and bat with o'neill so that the two rightt-handed batsmen would give the pakistanis no opportunity to waste time by switching the field. australia won the match with minutes to spare. harvey scored 54 and 13 not out in the drawn third test at karachi. australia took the series 2–0, but would not win another test in pakistan until 1998. harvey ended the series with 273 runs at 54.60.
