Disagree. While Oram can't bat, or apparently take many wickets at the mo - his bowling is much more accurate than that left arm shoulder slumper Franklin.

So while Oram may not run through a team, at least he can keep the runs down (filthy statment really).

I probably should have added the rolled eyes smiley to my previous post or something.

Stoked he did well in that game. Obviously just a warmup and one good innings doesn't make a player, but he has all the tools to produce at international level.

Don't recall anyone saying he was 'no good'. A few including myself merely questioned his inclusion in the top XI. Despite the obvious delight you've taken from this one good innings this latest warm-up match, I might remind you his highest score in 9 ODI innings to date is 36, so he's hardly delivered at International level yet. That said, would probably start him in this 1st game against SA if picking on form.
