	Roger Davis (cricketer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roger Davis (born 15 January 1946) is a former county cricketer.
		He became, briefly, headline news in 1971, when a ball hit him on the side of the head while he was fielding in the dangerous "short leg" position, causing his heart to stop.
		This biographical article related to English cricket is a stub.

	Roger Clive Davis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Roger Davis was the fielder who nearly caught Gary Sobers during Glamorgan`s Championship match with Nottinghmashire at Swansea in 1968 when the great West Indian all-rounder became the first man in cricket history to hit six sixes in an over in first-class cricket.
		Davis was fielding on the long-off boundary and off the fifth ball of Malcolm Nash`s historic over, Davis caught one of Sobers` mighty blows, but in so doing, he fell over the boundary and the umpires signalled six.
		During 1976, Davis lost form with both bat and ball, but given his track record at county level, it was still a huge surprise when the club did not offer him a long term contract at the end of the season.

	THE ARMCHAIR BLABBERMOUTH
		The Pakistan cricket team is being run by born again Taliban type Tableeghi Missionaries - and though they like every one else are entitled to their beliefs, there is no way in which their beliefs should become criterion for a cricketers chances of playing for his country.
		Davis later proceeded to make a total ass of his judgement by awarding a wide to a delivery that the batsman actually gloved along with a rather audible sound.
		Cricket is a sport; perhaps one of the great sports for a variety of reasons and I have spent the best part of my life following the game with as much passion as anyone I have ever come across, yet let us not forget that it is only a sport..

		The internal problems with the cricket set up in the West Indies had a deterrent effect on the team that is in Sri Lanka and they lost the second cricket Test against Sri Lanka in no uncertain manner by 240 runs and thereby surrendered the two-Test series to the home team 2-nil.
		The fifth ball was caught on the boundary line by Roger Davis but as he caught the ball he fell on the ground and his shoulders crossed the line and it was declared a six and the last ball was thumped in to the garden of the cricketers pub.
		The highest individual innings in Sri Lankan cricket was produced by one-time West Indies Captain Sir Frank Worrell for Commonwealth XI against Sri Lanka at the Colombo Oval on February 16 in 1951.

		Davis served as an infantry private under Robert E. Lee during Lee's Virginia/West Virginia campaign until December 1861, when the 1st Tennessee was transferred to Major General Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson's command for the defense of the Shenandoah Valley.
		Davis was subjected to incessant interrogation for several days, with his inquisitors pushing hard both for the identity of his source for information on the 16th Corps and the true identity of Capt. Coleman.
		Davis was repeatedly promised leniency (a promise which was escalated to freedom during the interrogation) if he would divulge the names, or death by hanging as a spy if he would not.
