Top 5 No. 6 New Zealand Test batsmen of all time

#3 Jacob Oram

The big left-hander is perhaps known more for his immense power hitting skills in limited overs cricket but what is often forgotten is that the former New Zealand all-rounder Jacob Oram had also played 33 Test matches from 2002 to 2009.

Oram wasn't the most technically gifted of batsmen but he tried his best at the number 6 position and provided the New Zealand middle-order with a certain edge from 2003 to 2008.

However, his powerful batting was often quite helpful for New Zealand when it came to scoring quick runs and throughout the course of his stint at number 6, he provided the muscle to the lower middle-order.

In those 16 Test matches at number 6, Oram made 732 runs at an average of 34.85 and considering the fact that he was an all-rounder, it was not that bad a return. He made 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries during the course of his stint at number 6.
