IPL is good fun,but its far from reality: Oram

Speaking about his experience in the league,the imposing 32-year-old said it was surreal at times. After nearly every game theres an after-party,theres Bollywood stars there and fashion parades; the drinks are free and the cheerleaders are around. Its a different world. Sometimes you wonder if youre here for cricket or not. Ultimately you are. It is good fun,but at the same time I dont think its reality, Oram said.

He also recalled his interactions with Rajasthan captain Shane Warnes actress girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley. She Hurley was here for a week,halfway through the tournament. Shes a very nice lady and has an organic farm herself,so with my wifes family being organic farmers there was a conversation starter there. She brought her kids across and Shane had his three kids there,and nannies and a bit of security so there was a massive entourage for a while. One of the pleasent experience of the IPL,according to Oram,was sharing the dressing room with Warne and Rahul Dravid. He Warne is a nice guy,really easy to talk to. Hes about to retire and that experience will last forever. I played alongside Rahul Dravid; theres some pretty cool things Ive experienced, he said.
