Michael Di Venuto has played 141 first-class matches for Tasmania scoring 9687 runs at an average of 40.36 including 18 centuries with a highest score of 189. He also has taken 150 catches, the most by a Tasmanian in first-class cricket and in 103 domestic one-day matches he scored 2891 runs with a highest score of 129 at an average of 30.76. He also represented Australia in nine one-day internationals in 1997 scoring 241 runs at an average of 26.77 with a highest score of 89.

Aye - a fine career.

Would be nice for him to end up with 10,000 runs for Tassie and 20,000 FC runs overall.

Should have played more for Australia, imo. Better ODI opener than Katich.

Good career, suspect he wasted his talent to an extent.

By my calculations Diva would have passed the 10,000 runs for Tassie milestone during his innings today.
