He was born in Cape Town, Cape Province. His international career lasted from 1998 to 2004, yielding 21 ODI wickets at a bowling average of 34.04 and five Test wickets at 23.39. However, both of his Tests were against bottom-ranked Bangladesh.

Dawson's best international performance occurred in the semi-final of the Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur in 1998. South Africa had lost nine wickets when Dawson joined Nicky Boje at the crease. They put on a partnership to steer South Africa into the final, where they beat Australia (captained by Steve Waugh)

Dawson's best batting in first-class cricket occurred in a Supersport Series final when Western Province had lost much of their upper order and Dawson and Eric Simons rescued them to post a decent total which they defended.

In February 2020, he was named in South Africa's squad for the Over-50s Cricket World Cup in South Africa.[1][2] However, the tournament was cancelled during the third round of matches due to the coronavirus pandemic.[3]
