Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Adam Parore was not just an efficient keeper but one who could get into the team just on the basis of his batting. When Lee Germon took over the captaincy as well as the wicket keeping duties, Parore held his place in the team as a number 3 batsman. Parore was not shy of using his verbal skills either. He has had many a run-ins with the New Zealand administration and was one who constantly distracted a batsman’s concentration with clever verbal chirps behind the wickets.
Parore began his first class career for Auckland in 1988 and made his Test debut for the Kiwis against England in Birmingham, 1990. In a 78 match Test career, Parore scored 2865 runs at an average of 26.28. His best effort was a fine 110 against arch-rivals Australia in Perth during the 2001 tour. He was involved in a 253 run stand for the 8th wicket with Nathan Astle as New Zealand drew the 3 Test match series at 0-0.
Parore finished his Test career with 204 dismissals, which is a record for New Zealand wicket keepers. The emergence of Brendon McCullum and his own loss of enthusiasm contributed in Parore’s decision to retire. He made a brief comeback by being part of the Indian Cricket League in 2008 where he was a part of the Chennai Superstars team.
Adam Parore also holds the record for the highest score without scoring a boundary in an ODI match. He made 96 against India in Baroda, 1994 during the Wills World series. Parore recently completed the feat of climbing atop the Mount Everest as a part of raising charity for the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
An Auckland first-class player since 1988, Adam Parore announced his retirement on the eve of the final Test against England at Auckland in March 2002, after more than a decade of service to New Zealand cricket. His form might have been expected to decline with age, but instead the super-fit Parore (who sometimes jogged home after a hard day in the field) reached the peak of his wicketkeeping powers in 2000-01, at the age of 30. In the mid-1990s Parore was often at odds with the New Zealand establishment, and was given to expressive verbal advice from behind the stumps. But he later fitted comfortably into the senior-pro role, both in encouraging the work of the young New Zealand bowlers, and re-polishing his own ability as perhaps the most consistent keeper in world cricket. His batting could occasionally be top-notch too. When Lee Germon took over as captain and wicketkeeper in the mid-1990s, Parore kept his place as New Zealand's regular No. 3, and in 2001-02 at Perth he helped Nathan Astle add 253 for the eighth wicket - of which Parore made 110 - against the best attack in the world. Parore described the feat as "pretty cool", but by the end of that season his enthusiasm had gone. Six years after retirement, he made a surprise decision by joining the Indian Cricket League after signing a two-year contract with the Chennai Superstars.
