Henry Davids

An attractive (read extravagant) batsman, with a specialization in T20s, Henry Davids is one of those star attractions in the South African domestic circuit. Add to that his ability to roll his arm over and sneak in useful overs in the disguise of off-spin. His stint with the South African national team however fizzled out without a lot of noise.

His domestic career over the years has been pretty nomadic. He started off with Boland and got his career kickstarted with a truckload of runs, which included a century as well, in his first handful of games. This was way back in 2000 but such was the lull that followed that his next century took an entire six years to come by. A switch to Cape Cobras and the advent of T20 cricket as a format did a world of good to him.

In the inaugural season of the Champions League in 2009, he finished as one of the top run-getters with 137 runs to his credit. A South African T20 debut did follow in 2012, a career that lasted only nine matches, with him failing to get into double digits in the last six games. He represented the Titans in the 2013 Champions League, this time to come out of it as the leading run-scorer for his side. 

In 2017, Davids was named the 'List A Player of the Season'. Davids, a regular member of the Titans' set-up since 2010, represents Paarl Rocks in the Mzansi Super League. In the inaugural edition of MSL (2018), he tallied just 140 runs in seven innings which comprised a half-century. The 39-year-old top-order batsman would be eager to better his performance for the Rocks in 2019.
