Dirk Peter Nannes is quite an interesting cricketing figure. Having played for both Australia and the Netherlands, Nannes has become one of the few players to who have represented multiple international teams.

Before taking up cricket as a career, Nannes had been a freestyle skier and since then has played across nine different countries representing diverse teams from different parts of the globe including Australia, Basnahira Cricket Dundee, Canterbury, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Daredevils, Lions, Melbourne Renegades, Middlesex, Mountaineers, Netherlands, Nottinghamshire, Otago, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Somerset, Surrey, Sydney Thunder, Sylhet Royals, Victoria.

In his early cricket career, he played for teams like Hawthorn Waverly and later Fitzroy Doncaster. Like Brag Hodge, Nannes too has been a member of the Victorian Bushrangers and has gained the reputation for being a true fast bowler, bowling at around 150km/hr. While playing in the Sheffield Shield he was once banned for two consecutive beamers, and both his domestic and international careers have been plagued by injuries.

In spite of his admirable worth as a fast bowler, due to his inconsistency and the injuries, he did not have a successful career with either of the national teams. Victoria and Delhi Daredevils coach Greg Shipperd when asked about Dirk's non-selection for the Australian Twenty20 team, had said that "I would have thought he would be the first pick", thus expressing the widely held views of Nannes as an asset to the team.
