"Alan Davidson's passing is a sad moment for Australian cricket and for cricket across the world," CA chair Richard Freudenstein said in a statement. Playing with a broken finger, Davidson hit a swashbuckling 80 on the final day in Brisbane to help the Australians draw with the West Indies. After retirement, Davison spent five years as an Australian test selector from 1979 until 1984. The flag on the Members Pavilion at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where Davidson served as a trustee for 20 years, was lowered to half-mast in tribute. His death comes a day after Ashley Mallett, one of Australia's greatest spin bowlers, died in Adelaide from cancer.
