Legendary Australian all-rounder Alan Davidson, who played 44 Tests since he made his debut in 1953, passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 92.
Davidson’s death comes less than a day after the passing of former Test spinner Ashley Mallett, who died at the age of 76. 

He made his first-class debut for NSW during the 1949-50 season and his Test debut on the 1953 Ashes tour. He took 186 Test wickets at 20.53 with best figures of 7-93 and scored 1,328 runs at 24.5, with a top score of 80. Among Davidson’s many great performances, his innings of 80 on the final day of the 1960 tied Test against the West Indies in Brisbane, still stands out.
