South Africa win one of the best moments of my career: Oram

After spearheading New Zealand to the cricket World Cup semi-final by taking four wickets and two magnificent catches, Jacob Oram said the victory against South Africa was "among the best moments" of his career.

"This is among the best moments in my career, another one is beating South Africa in the 2003 World Cup," Oram said after New Zealand defeated South Africa by 49 runs in the quarterfinal here.

Oram, who took the catch of Jacques Kallis by plucking the ball out of thin air running full tilt on the boundary, said his height did the trick.

"Thankfully I am tall enough and managed to get there for the Kallis catch. I don't want to take credit for that one, but I suppose Kallis' dismissal was the turning point of the match," he added.
