Davison, born in Canada but brought up in Australia, found fame in 2003 when he smashed the then fastest-century in World Cup history, off just 67 balls, including six sixes and seven fours, against the West Indies at Centurion.
What made Davison's innings all the more remarkable was that he'd made his name as a cricketer as an off-spinner, playing in the Australian domestic first-class Sheffield Shield for Victoria and South Australia.
Davison's record mark was subsequently lowered by Australia's Matthew Hayden at the 2007 edition and broken again this World Cup by Ireland's Kevin O'Brien, who his 100 off just 50 balls during the shock win over England in Bangalore.
Davison, 40, retired from Shield cricket several years ago and is now a coach at Australia's national academy in Brisbane.
