While attending University High School in Melbourne, Harry copied the unusual spin-bowling technique of the Test bowler Jack Iverson. He was successful in senior district cricket, but played only once in first-class cricket, when in Victoria's match against Tasmania in 1961–62 he took one wicket.[3][4]
Harry died in Melbourne in April 2019, aged 82.
