Richard Davis (cricketer)
Richard 'Dickie' Peter Davis (18 March 1966 – 29 December 2003) was an English cricketer. Davis was a right-handed batsman who bowled slow left-arm orthodox. He was born at Westbrook, Kent.
==Early life and Kent==
Davis grew up in East Kent and was educated firstly at King Ethelbert School in Birchington-on-Sea and later at Thanet Technical College on the Isle of Thanet. He was coached at county level throughout his life, eventually making his first-class cricket debut for Kent in 1986 against Warwickshire. Despite making his first-class debut for the county at the age of just 20, Davis faced a challenge to remain within the team; he was expected to succeed Derek Underwood,〔(Richard Davis, Times Obituary )〕 one of the finest left-arm spinners. This following the most successful period in the history of the county and with pitches at Canterbury which were not conducive to slow bowling.
Nonetheless, between 1986 and 1993, he represented Kent in 125 first-class matches with his final appearance for the county coming against the touring Australians. Despite the nature of the pitches at Canterbury, Davis was a successful bowler for the county. In 125 matches, he took 320 wickets at a bowling average of 35.02, with 13 five wicket hauls and 2 ten wicket hauls in a match. His best bowling figures were 7/64, which came in 1992, his best with the ball. During the 1992 season, he took 74 wickets at an average of 21.74,〔(First-class Bowling in Each Season by Richard Davis )〕 with those best figures coming against Durham at Eastwood Gardens. Up to this time, he had also developed into a handy lower order batsman for the county. In his 125 matches, he scored 1,795 runs at a batting average of 15.74, with 4 half centuries and a high score of 67 which came against Hampshire in the 1989 County Championship.〔(Hampshire v Kent, 1989 County Championship )〕 Davis also made his debut in List-A cricket for Kent against Worcestershire. A tidy bowler with a good economy rate, Davis played 106 List-A matches for the county, during which time he took 103 wickets an average of 31.71, which included his only List-A five wicket haul of 5/52 against Somerset.〔(Somerset v Kent, 1989 Refuge Assurance League )〕 At the end of the 1993 season, the emergence of Min Patel led Davis not to extend his Kent contract.
