In 1983, Davis was picked for the West Indies’ World Cup team, and after being called up for the second game of the group in the second group match against Australia at Headingley The match immediately made news by taking 7-51 which was which was at the time a record-breaking world record in ODIs. Davis was retained for the remaining four matches in the group however he only took one wicket more and was not picked for the semi-finals or the final – which is perhaps not surprising considering that players with the caliber that of Marshall, Garner, Holding and Roberts were all included in West Indies’ squad for the World Cup.

He played in all six Tests in India that winter, taking 14 wickets, but when Australia visited the West Indies in the spring of 1984, Davis was selected for only one Test and one ODI, and despite his experience of English conditions he was at first left out of the party to play England that summer, although when Milton Small was ruled out by a knee injury part-way through the series Davis was drafted into the squad. He played in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, and though he was not particularly effectual with the ball beyond managing to fracture Paul Terry’s ulna he did score 77, his highest first- class innings, coming in as nightwatchman on the first day.

Returning to Glamorgan after World Cup, Davis had another successful season, taking 52 wickets at 26.71 from 15 first-class matches, including three five- wicket innings hauls. 1984 was a successful season for Davis: he took 62 first-class wickets at 27.82 apiece and was unlucky not to be retained by Glamorgan for the following season; they decided instead to employ a certain Javed Miandad.

In 1982, he been able to make his Test as well as One Day International debuts for the series between 1982 and 1983 against India His first wicket in Test cricket was the one from Mohinder Amarnath.

Davis endured a final, less than happy, season with Northamptonshire in 1990: he averaged above 60 with the ball in both first-class and one-day cricket, and went for more than five an over in the latter form of the game. His final bowling spell for his county, in the Championship game against Essex, was a disastrous 5-0-37-0 as Graham Gooch and John Stephenson ran riot. With that, Davis bowed out of county cricket for good, and in 1990/91 he went to play for Wellington in New Zealand. It proved a shrewd choice as Davis took 20 first- class wickets at 19.50 in just five matches. After that, there were a couple of exhibition matches against his old county of Glamorgan in 1991, and 54 not out for a World XI against the West Indians at Scarborough, before he returned to the Caribbean for three final domestic games. He did little in any of them, and retired from cricket.
