Heath Te-Ihi-O-Te-Rangi Davis (born 30 November 1971 in Lower Hutt) is a former New Zealand cricketer. He played five Tests and eleven One Day Internationals in the 1990's.
Davis was prevented from enjoying a longer international career by problems with injury, wides and, particularly no-balls.
A quick and skiddy bowler, his impressive Test figures hide the story of up to 14 no-balls in an innings. His career came in two short bursts, in between which he strived for improved rhythm. It was unfortunate for Davis that he appeared to lose control when he strived for extra pace.
Famously Davis was hit on the head while batting without wearing a helmet. No ill effects were seen.
Davis quit cricket in order to focus on his male modeling career[citation needed].
