Known as 'Wal', Dudley was born in Fitzroy and played three games for their VFL side in 1940. He kicked two goals on debut against South Melbourne and a further two against Hawthorn.
In four first-class cricket matches with Victoria as a right arm fast bowler he took 11 wickets at 36.54. He twice dismissed Bill Brown in a match against Queensland[1] but his career highlight was claiming Don Bradman for a duck, when the great Australian batsman was playing for South Australia.[2] When not representing Victoria, Dudley played for Victorian Premier Cricket club Northcote. He made a total of 240 appearances and took a club record 556 wickets.
