He bowls right-arm fast-medium and has represented Australia in 3 Twenty20 Internationals. Harwood began his Pura Cup career as a 28-year-old in 2002-03 and became the third Australian to get a hat-trick on debut. Harwood is also a useful tailender who in the ING Cup once scored a 31 ball 50. He has represented Australia A and was suggested by teammate Shane Warne as being a contender for the 2006 Australian Test tour of South Africa. Although he did not make the test squad, he was picked for Australia in a Twenty20 International game against England in early 2007. He was named in the Australian 30-man preliminary squad for the 2007 World Cup but did not make the final fifteen. On 16 January 2006 Harwood took career-best figures of 6 for 38 in a Pura Cup match against New South Wales. On 12 March 2009, Harwood was selected for the 16-man Australian one-day squad in South Africa. He played both Twenty20 Internationals, taking 2/21 in the second match off his four overs.
