Popularly known as "Ducky", Diver is best known as a reliable batsman. Following the 1859 English cricket season, he was one of the 12-strong party of English players who toured North America. Led by George Parr, this was the first overseas cricket tour.
His nephew, Edwin Diver, played over 200 first-class games, mostly for Surrey and Warwickshire.
