A flashy strokeplayer who is more accustomed to limited-overs cricket than its longer format, Henry Davids made his debut for Boland against the touring New Zealanders in 2000. With one hundred and a fifty, and 336 runs in six matches, it was an encouraging start to his career. A solid second season was followed by a run drought and his next hundred didn't come until March 2006. In early 2007 he had a brief eight-match stint for Nelson in New Zealand before hitting his straps for Cape Cobras in 2007-08 with a run of consistent scores. Davids has featured fairly regularly in the squad since then, and was picked for the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 in India in 2009.
