Nicknamed ‘Deadly’ for his ability to run through an opposition on a rain affected pitch, Derek Underwood was the perfect spinner in the then newly limited overs format. Underwood was a tall left handed orthodox bowler. He main weapons were accuracy and the pace at which he bowled, which was near to a medium pace bowler.

Underwood spent his career at English county Kent and he was very effective in limited overs format due to his accuracy and nagging line length. In a career spanning 24 years, he took 572 wickets with best bowling figures of 8/31.
