While studying at the University of Cambridge, Daplyn made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against the Cambridge Town Club at Parker's Piece in 1833.[1] It was in that same season that he made a single first-class appearance for a team of left-handed players against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's, as well as making his debut for Norfolk against Yorkshire at Hyde Park Ground, Sheffield.[1] He made two further first-class appearances for Norfolk in 1834, both against Yorkshire, while in the following two seasons he made his final two appearances in first-class cricket, playing once for the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1835 against Sussex, and for Norfolk against Yorkshire in 1836.[1] In nine first-class matches, Daplyn scored 93 runs at an average of 7.75, with a high score of 24,[2] while with the ball he took 23 wickets, taking a five wicket haul on three occasions and once taking a ten wicket haul in a match.[2]

He had a son, Matthew, who was baptised at Hindringham in 1843.[3] Daplyn died at the village of his birth on 4 April 1854.
