Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
A competent wicket-keeper batsman, only the presence of the likes of Brendon McCullum and BJ Watling, prevented the likelihood of de Boorder turning up for the Black Caps.He did receive a call-up against South Africa for two Twenty20 internationals in 2012, but never played a game. de Boorder though was a valuable entity in the Otago line-up and might have finished his career at 99 first-class appearances.
He effected an Otago record of 344 dismissals behind the stumps and once equaled the world record by taking eight catches in an innings. Another cherished moment in his illustrious career came when he played a pivotal role in Otago Volts clinching the 50-over trophy in January, 2013 - thereby breaking the title drought which had lasted 20 years. Having started his career with Auckland in 2005-06, de Boorder switched to Otago after an opening was caused owning to the exit of regular gloveman, Gareth Hopkins.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A wicketkeeper batsman, Derek de Boorder started his career with Auckland in 2005-06 before switching to Otago. His Auckland stint included just a solitary limited-overs match, but when Gareth Hopkins announced that he was leaving Otago for Auckland, de Boorder took the opportunity to fill that void in Dunedin. A former Under-19 player, de Boorder spent time at the New Zealand Cricket Academy and was part of the Emerging Players squad in 2005. He made his first-class debut in 2007-08 and took over the wicketkeeping duties in the absence of Brendon McCullum. He says his keeping technique improved after consulting Adam Parore. He only played four first-class games in 2008-09 but ended the season with a batting average of 53.75.
