Yeah was good in Trent Bridge, and the performance in 2018 India series in Centurion and also on the absolutely horrid Johannesburg wicket was also very good.

Eh. Can see Harvey getting rated higher now, but definitely not significantly IMO. But well, **** Kohli so I am fine.

y'all are just paying for not scheduling test serieses with Pakistan really, they'd get him in form in no time.

Harvey was hailed as the next Bradman for a while but dramatically failed to live up to expectations. Still the best of these three though.

Harvey (1960-63) age : 31-34
1,042 @ 34.73 , 3 100s
Amla (2016-19) age : 32-35
2,375 @ 38.93 , 5 100s
Kohli (2020-25) age : 31-36
2,028 @ 30.73 , 3 100s
Amla was better with the decline but at peak both Kohli and Amla were monsters and Harvey was Bradmanesque. So Harvey wins this.

Hey, now we can compare the end of their careers.
Amla
Sadly played 12 continous innings against Australia and averaged 19, all played in very pace friendly conditions, managed two good fifties on spicy wickets against Pakistan and averaged 52 against them. Looked hopeless against the Sri Lankan pacers and decided to retire from Cricket. Average fell 6.14 points in approximately four years.
Harvey
Got owned by Hall and Worrell, averaged 17 in 8 innings, made a hundred at Edgbaston against Trueman/Statham/Allen, made 73 and 53 in spicy conditions during Trueman's game against Fred/Jackson/Lock where no other aussie bat performed well, made a great hundred coming in at 16-2 against Trueman/Statham at Adeliade, another decent fifty. Average went down 13 points in 6 or so years.
Kohli
Went away on his back due to Scott Boland, made a hundred but completely failed in rest of the series in spicier conditions, performed well on very spicy wickets in South Africa. Average fell by 8 points in a around 5 years.

Harvey actually has arguably the best hundred ever made by a foreign batsman in South Africa. It is also one of the most distinguished hundreds ever in the history of the game.
Neil Harvey's patient 151
South Africa are ground down in Durban

Both teams had just been bowled out for 99 and 75 on a sticky wicket, and Harvey went out and made 151* on a sticky wicket, chasing down 336, a feat that seems incomprehensible on a normal South African wicket in the final inning, let alone a sticky one. He was 21 at the time.
like I said, he's not a player I know enough about and this is a ridiculous knock.Harvey actually has arguably the best hundred ever made by a foreign batsman in South Africa. It is also one of the most distinguished hundreds ever in the history of the game.
