benaud returned for the third test, when england levelled the series despite twin half-centuries of 73 and 53 from harvey, who top-scored in both innings on a dustbowl in a match that lasted only three days. harvey failed to pass 35 in the last two tests, and ended with 338 runs at 42.25, and was a significant factor in australia's eventual 2–1 victory. in the second half of the tour, harvey added centuries against nottinghamshire and warwickshire and took his career best bowling fugres of 4/8 against middlesex to help set up a ten-wicket win. he ended his final tour for australia with 1452 runs at 44.00 with five centuries. during the season, harvey and benaud led aggressively to force a result through attacking strategy and a determination to avoid time-wasting.
