New Zealand all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JDP-Oram-c1681 has expressed his pleasure over his team’s resurgence in recent times which includes a Test win in Australia along with a thumping home performance against Zimbabwe.
The Black Caps have been in fine form of late, where they have formed a formidable unit under the captaincy of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849. Their solitary victory away against their close rivals was their first in 26 years, and they followed that with an impressive victory
against the Rhodesians – claiming win by a whopping innings and 301 runs margin, bowling out their opponents twice inside one day.
It has created positive vibes in the Kiwi camp where recently, pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Test ladder.
Oram, who has retired from Test cricket after been dogged by serious career threatening injuries was also satisfied with the small, yet significant, strides made by the national team, which will lead them to further success against tougher oppositions.
“That Test was not only a sign of the changing conditions Zimbabwe will have to deal with, but also New Zealand cricket as a whole creating a little bit of momentum and depth," Oram told the

"The best sides I have played against - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in their own conditions - once they got their tails up they were near-unstoppable. I'm not saying we're at that level, but we are taking small steps towards that," added Oram.
The win in the One-off Test will be followed by limited overs encounters against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045, where Oram’s position has come under threat due to the rise of some promising all-rounder, but the 33-year-old is convinced of performing an integral role to his
side’s success in the coming months.
