Excerpt: John Michael Davison (born 9 May 1970) is a former Canadian cricketer. He was a hard-hitting right-handed batsman in the top or middle order, who bowls right-arm off break. He was born in Campbell River, British Columbia. Born in Canada to Australian teachers on a one-year teaching exchange, Davison moved to Australia and attended school at St Ignatius' College, Riverview where he was a member of the 1st XI before playing grade cricket in Melbourne and attending the Australian Cricket Academy in 1993.

After his successes for the modest Canadian team at the World Cup, Davison returned to Australia and continued playing for South Australia, where he had played since 2002 after being released by Victoria. Continuing his form for Canada, Davison returned to the national lineup for the 2004 ICC Intercontinental Cup, and was named as captain. He was in inspirational form as Canada overcame rivals USA, top-scoring with 84 in Canada's first innings and taking match figures of 17 for 137 (8 for 61 and 9 for 76), the best first-class match figures anywhere in the world since Jim Laker's 19 for 90 during the 1956 Ashes.
