Is a former Australian cricketer of the 1950s and 1960s. He was an all rounder: a lower order hard hitting left-handed batsman, and an outstanding left-arm fast-medium opening bowler.

His left arm bowling was a mainstay of the Australian pace attack of the 1950s and early 1960s, and from the late 1950s widely regarded as one of the finest pace bowlers in the world, with a classical bowling action which imparted late swing.[1] Davidson was considered along Wasim Akram as the two greatest left arm fast bowlers in history,[2] and bowled with great control, conceding less than two runs per over.[3] Only three post war bowlers have a superior bowling average.[4] Davidson was known for his anticipation in close catching positions and his accurate and strong throwing arm from the outfield.[5] His ability to take improbable close range catches saw him earn the nickname "The Claw".[6]
