About Keith Dudgeon

Born 1946. Keith Dudgeon is an Australian cricketer.

Keith Dudgeon (born 5 September 1946) is an Australian former cricketer. He played 41 first-class matches for Queensland between 1967 and 1975. This period is considered by the Queensland Bulls as 'not the best era for the Queensland Bulls', as the team came last in the Sheffield Shield competition eight times during the late 1960s and mid 1970s. His score of 85 came in 1971, again at the WACA ground against Western Australia, and his innings was finally ended with a catch taken by Rod Marsh off the bowling of Dennis Lillee.

He also took 15 first-class wickets at an average of 24.33, In 1968, while playing an Tour Match hosting the West Indies, Dudgeon took the wickets of Basil Butcher and Wes Hall, after the former had claimed Dudgeon's wicket earlier in the match. Following that tour of Australia, then-captain Richie Benaud commented that Butcher was 'the most difficult of all West Indians to dismiss'. In an exhibition match in November 1970, Dudgeon removed the famed English opener John Edrich who was playing for the Marylebone Cricket Club.

He also represented Queensland eight times in List A cricket, scoring a total of 156 runs at an average of 26.00, with a top score of 43. Through this business Keith and his family support local cricket teams, such as the Valley District Cricket Club.
