Portrait of Neil Harvery Aged "nineteen", 1999

One of four brothers to play first-class cricket, Neil Harvey was one of the most attractive and prolific batsmen of his generation. Despite making 153 against India in only his second Test match, he was initially omitted from the Test side on Australia's tour of England the following summer. Called up for the fourth Test at Headingley, Harvey counter-attacked his way to 112, rescuing Australia from a precarious position. Aged just nineteen, Neil Harvey had scored two centuries in his first three Tests and could deservedly count himself as one of "The Invincibles". Harvey would play another 76 Test matches and score another nineteen hundreeds in his fifteen year Test career. He was awarded the M.B.E. for services to cricket in 1964.
