Emrys Davies

Davies was born in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales.

His first class career for Glamorgan lasted for thirty one years, from 1924 till 1954.

He was a left-handed top order batsman and a slow left-arm orthodox bowler.

He was selected by commentator John Arlott in the Best XI from players who, for a wide variety of reasons, were never capped by England.

At the end of his 621-game career he had scored 26564 runs and 903 wickets as he put himself into the record books at Glamorgan.
