The Oram prophecies

Oram's continues to be dogged by injury worreis, the latest being the back injury picked up on tour to Bangladesh. David Leggat in the New Zealand Herald believes Oram may soon put the bowling boots away for good and play as a specialist batsman.

"Oram" and "injury" are no strangers to being in the same sentence, and the player is increasingly frustrated at being unable to stay healthy for a reasonable length of time. He calls his frequent injury layoffs "a bit of a joke", except no one's laughing.
