<p>Davison shot to prominence with a 67-ball century against the West Indies in the 2003 World Cup, the then fastest ton in the quadrennial event.<br /><br />The 41-year-old was born in Canada but lived almost all his life in Australia, the country he always wanted to represent.<br /><br />"I suppose its pretty fitting. I've lived all my life there. I was never quite good enough to get a game for them. It will be a great experience to play against them.<br /><br />"There'r some guys in the team who I've had a fair bit to do with, playing against or coaching. So it would be nice to have a good showing against them," Davison said of his farewell match.<br /><br />Davison has either played with or coached quite a few of the Aussies, including spinners Jason Kreja, Steve Smith, at Australia's Centre of Excellence in Brisbane, and has had a hand in the development of the sport in Canada.<br /><br />"He has been a great ambassador for the sport. I have learned a lot from him and the players appreciate his presence in the dressing room. He has got professionalism and work ethic in the side," Canada skipper Ashish Bagai said of Davison.<br /><br />Australia skipper Ricky Ponting's association with Davison also goes back a long way.<br />"Know a lot about John as a cricketer. 20 years back or so, played with or against him at various state competitions, and also did quite a few overseas tours with him as part of the cricket academy," Ponting said.<br /><br />"He has had great memories of the world cup, playing for Canada. He will be able to look back at the World Cup and look at the good moments," he added.<br /><br />Davison took a walk down memory lane, when a reporter reminded him of the innings against West Indies eight years ago.<br /><br />"I hope there is one more innings like that left in me," he said. "I was hitting it a lot better than I am now. I was just able to hit through the line. It was one of those days when everything I tried came off," he added.<br /><br />Davison has played 31 one-day internationals for Canada, scoring 785 runs at an average of a shade under 30, besides picking up 35 wickets.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>
