Profile
Jack Dunning, a right-arm off-break bowler, who could not convert his domestic performances into international cricket. Dunning played four Tests for New Zealand and all were against England. When he was a Rhodes scholar, Dunning gave a trial for the Oxford team in 1928, but he was not selected.

Dunning could only manage 5 wickets in his Test career. However, his first class journey was more fruitful. During the tour of England in 1937, Dunning took 10/170 in the match against Essex, 9/64 versus Cambridge University and 6/67 against Middlesex. His time with Otago was one of the best, he picked 228 first class wickets at 27.58, including 15 five-wicket hauls.

After hanging up his boots, Dunning was a member of the Australian Cricket Board of Control. he spent the rest of his life in Australia before passing away in 1971 in Adelaide, aged 68.
