First class career
Dunk made his debut for Queensland in December 2009, having been selected in the Twenty20 team. Over six matches in the 2009-10 season, Dunk scored 142 runs off 99 balls, including an innings of 70 not out off 40 balls. He was called up into the Queensland Sheffield Shield team for the first time in October 2010, playing as a specialist batsman (Chris Hartley retained selection as Queensland's wicket-keeper).
