From the Vault: Oram lights up WACA with incredible ton

New Zealand's Jacob Oram produced a remarkable knock of 101 not out from 72 balls to nearly steal victory in an epic ODI run chase against Australia

[userKK]

This really was the most unbelievable knock of those times. He almost clinched the match for the Kiwis. He had another special T20 knock against the Aussies later that year. He and Andy Blignaut could hit sixes at will!

[AbdulRehman-gvex]

The most underrated all rounder of all tiime

[Thacarshee]

Jacob Oram will always be an unsung hero of the game we love

[hasnainraza]

from the times when ODI's were still a treat to watch in Australia, not anymore since 2015 ODI World Cup

[artmccarthy]

My 1st ever Australian ODI!
Jacob Oram was on another level!
So good!

One of the best Commonwealth Bank Series to be played! I watched it live. Jacob Oram was one of finest all-rounder to play the game.

I like cricket Australia YouTube channel for posting the videos of early 2000's cricket match.these videos remember me of my childhood when our whole family used to watch cricket matches.

I was 12 at the time watching it live at a mates place. Even as an Aussie, I was actually cheering Oram on cause of his immense power and stroke play was incredible! His determination was fierce, he & Mccullum got his country so damn close but what an effort & performance!

Jacob Oram, one of those 2000s era kiwi who never got their deserved limelight.

Brilliant player Jacob He won🏆💪 many matches with csk as well

[akshaykaushal]

there are very few natural allrounders. eithers they're batsman who can bowl or bowler who can bat but very few natural allrounders...flintoff, oram, Klusener, kallis, razzaq, bravo are some of them and were such a treat to watch

[subhasishdey]

I actually saw this innings live, back in my UG college days. it was a joy to watch.

[mittalvinayak]

One of my favorite all-rounders when I started watching Cricket. Does anyone know what he is doing right now?

[gauravrawat]

Oram, vittori, mark gelespie are superb all rounders they play many incredible innings and grab many matches from opposition

[asifthevamp]

Hitting 100 in 70 balls in Australia V's Australia was such a great ACHIEVEMENT during that time 💓

[shantanuchoukikar]

I remember watching this highlights a few years ago on star sports (my God what a channel that was ! I don't think it is streamed any more in India). I was too small to watch the match when it was actually played. And from that day, I had always longed to find this match somewhere, until finally CA uploaded it here.
What an experience that was ! New Zealand cornered, then counter attacking, and then falling just short of the target. I felt so sad for them, I was a small kid back then.
And we need to remember that there weren't two balls in an innings back then. Hitting at the death was twice as difficult due to the softer ball. Plus there was reverse swing with the older ball. That all makes the innings twice as special
