Who was Eric Davies?

Eric Quail Davies was a South African cricketer who played in five Tests from 1936 to 1939. He was born in King William's Town and died in Port Alfred, both in Cape Province.

Davies was a left-handed tail-end batsman and a right-arm fast bowler with a short first-class cricket career spread over many seasons. He first appeared for Eastern Province in three matches in the 1929–30 season and took four wickets for 36 against Rhodesia in the third of these. He then played just one match in 1930–31 and a further single game in 1934–35, with little success in either.
