Born in Perth, Western Australia, Davis played under-17 and under-19 cricket for Western Australia, and also represented the Australian national under-19 team in five under-19 Tests and three under-19 One-Day Internationals. He scored a century on his under-19 Test debut in January 2003, 132 from 187 balls against England.[2] Davis made his List A debut for Western Australia in January 2006, replacing Adam Voges who was suspended,[3] scoring six runs batting at number three.[4] He played for Weybridge in the Surrey Premier League during the 2006 English cricket season as an overseas player.[5]
Davis made his first-class debut for Western Australia against South Australia in November 2007, scoring eight and 42 runs in the first and second innings respectively.[6] In his second match, against New South Wales, he scored 116 runs in the first innings, his maiden first-class century.[7] He was seen by some as a replacement for the retiring Justin Langer.[8] His form in the 2007–08 season led to him being offered a place at the Centre of Excellence.[1]
A rib injury during the 2009–10 season restricted Davis to four Sheffield Shield and three Ford Ranger Cup matches.[1] He returned in the 2010–11 season to score two centuries in the first two matches of the Ryobi One-Day Cup,[9] becoming the third Western Australia player, after Justin Langer and Luke Ronchi, to hit consecutive one-day centuries.[10]
In October 2011, Davis was named in the Australian squad for the Hong Kong Sixes, but was later forced to withdraw due to state commitments.[11][12] In November 2011, he signed with the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League for the 2011–12 season.[13]
