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.

He was born in Cardiff, Wales, and first played for Glamorgan in 1964 as an all-rounder. In 1968, he came close to preventing the record-breaking 36 runs in one over, scored by Gary Sobers in a match at Swansea. In 1969, he helped Glamorgan to their county championship victory. Two years later, in a match against Warwickshire at Cardiff, the accident occurred which nearly resulted in Davis's death. CPR was administered on the field by a doctor who happened to be in the crowd. As an indirect result of the incident, fielders and batsmen in first-class cricket began wearing protective headgear. After making a full recovery, Davis continued to play for Glamorgan until 1976.

Roger Davis.

The great West Indian all-rounder Gary Sobers always said that wherever he went, someone was sure to ask about his record breaking over of six sixes off six balls. It came in a county game between Nottingham and Glamorgan, at St Helen's in Swansea, against the bowling of Malcolm Nash. Equally unfortunate was fielder Roger Davis, who caught the ball - only to have his catch disqualified as he fell over the boundary.

It was Roger Davis it was who stepped over the boundary after catching a ball hit by the great Sir Gary Sobers.

The fielder who took the catch of the 5th ball of the over in which Gary Sobers hit 6 sixes was Roger Davis. However, his catch was disqualified as he fell over the boundary.

sure, together as captaining Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan in 1968. This grow to be the 1st time it grow to be ever performed in superb cricket. I even have seen the black and white pictures of that over; between the sixes he hit left the floor and bounced down a residential highway interior sight.
