Oram started playing cricket from his school days and took his tremendous skills to the club level which ultimately saw him through to the National side. He is a fighter in nature and is always eager to perform for his team with the bat and the ball.
He is a well built tall fast bowler who has the ability to get bounce even out of dead wickets using his height. He has scored centuries both in the Test and One Day Internationals which makes him prominent as an all rounder.
