Dennis Victor Dyer (2 May 1914 – 16 June 1990) was a South African cricketer who played in 3 Tests in 1947.
Dyer, a product of Durban High School, was a powerfully built right-hand opening batsman with immense patience.
[1] He announced himself on his first-class debut with an innings of 185 for Natal against Western Province in 1939–40, but then lost the next six years to the Second World War.
[2] He re-established himself in the 1945–46 and 1946–47 seasons with further centuries and much was expected of him on the 1947 tour of England, when he was slated to open with Bruce Mitchell.
Dyer's two sons, David and Graham, also played first-class cricket for Natal and for other South African teams.
