It is hard to miss Jacob Oram on the pitch, and not
just because of his 1.98m height. He has a high degree of agility in
the field, where his skills were developed as a schoolboy
representative soccer goalkeeper, and he complements that with solid
medium-fast bowling skills and a naturally aggressive approach with
the bat. Foot problems during the summer of 2001-02 meant he missed
a season at a vital stage of his development, but he came back
strongly in 2002-03 and sealed a place for himself in both the Test
and one-day international sides. In 2003-04, he narrowly missed out
on a century, as he struck 97 against Pakistan. But in the first
Test against South Africa, he carved 119 not out and then 90 in the
second Test, which earned him a touring spot for the England series
in 2004. Oram continued to acquit himself well, and maintained his
place for the Bangladesh tour in 2004-05. Captain of his provincial
side Central Districts, Oram is shaping as a key performer in New
Zealand's future
