 After this match , Neil was called into the Australian Test team , so only Ray and Merv played in Victoria 's next match against New South Wales . Merv — again captaining the side — made a duck and was out before Ray came in , in Victoria 's only innings of the match and was not selected for the remainder of the season . After this , Ray and Neil played together for Victoria on two occasions in the second half of the season when the latter did not have a match for Australia . In the first match , against New South Wales , the two batted in partnership for the first time for their state . Ray came in at 5 / 53 to join Neil and he fell for 9 to leave the score at 6 / 64 as Victoria collapsed to be all out for 130 . In the second innings , Ray joined Neil with the score at 5 / 266 and the latter fell at 6 / 292 , ending a 26 @-@ run partnership . The pair did not bat together in the second match against South Australia as Neil was out before Ray came in on both occasions . The 1947 @-@ 48 was the most productive for the Harveys as a combination for Victoria until Ray played a full season in 1953 @-@ 54 together with Neil .
