Gained valuable experience of South African conditions on last year's tour, but was overlooked for the recent home series against England and Sri Lanka. Despite that, chief selector Trevor Hohns believes he has "the potential to be a match-winner" for Australia. Harvey has excelled in one-day cricket at domestic level, especially for English county side Gloucestershire. He made his international debut in December 1997 and although his performances have been unspectacular so far, he has never let Australia down. Varies his pace intelligently with the ball, and is capable of useful runs in the lower middle order. His belated selection offers compensation for missing out in 1999 when Tom Moody was preferred.
