despite the disagreement as to whether craig was deserving of the captaincy, the team proceeded smoothly without infighting. prior to the fifth test, craig wanted to drop himself due to poor form, which would have made harvey captain. peter burge, the third member of the selection panel and a harvey supporter, was comfortable with this, but harvey relinquished his opportunity to seize the leadership by ordering burge to retain craig. when the vote was formally taken, harvey and burge outvoted craig, who was still offering to drop himself.
