Mark Jeffrey Gronow Davis (born 10 October 1971) is a South African former cricketer active from 1990 to 2005.
[2] He was the captain of Northerns cricket team, before moving to England for the 2001 season,[3] as Davis held a British passport.
[4] During a match against Nottinghamshire, he almost became the first person in English first-class cricket history to concede a five run penalty under Law 42 of the Laws of cricket (fair and unfair play); his second warning for repeatedly running on the wicket caused the single he scored to be deducted from the score.
[3] In 2012, Davis swapped roles with Carl Hopkinson, making him an assistant to manager Mark Robinson.
[10] In 2013, Davis was a contender to become Sri Lankan head coach,[11] although Marvan Atapattu was eventually awarded the job.
