Davies revealed the other sports that he would liked to have covered: "Well, I love cricket but I’m not Richie Benaud, who I think is still, by a street, the best commentator around. I enjoy watching the golfing Majors but I couldn’t compete with Peter Alliss. I enjoyed doing a wide range of sports in my time and learning from people who knew more about them than me."
