the pair launched a counterattack, with miller taking the lead and shielding harvey from jim laker, as the young batsman was struggling against the off breaks that were turning away from him. miller then hit a series of boundaries against laker. this allowed australia to seize the initiative, with harvey joined the counterattack during the next over, hitting consecutive boundaries against laker, the second of which almost cleared the playing area. by the time miller was out for 58, the partnership had yielded 121 runs in 90 minutes, and was likened by "wisden" to a "hurricane". fingleton said that he had never "known a more enjoyable hour" of "delectable cricket".
