What do you know about Bill O'Reilly, born on the 20th of December, 1905?
He was born on the 20th of December, 1905
William O'Reilly aka Tiger O'Reilly was one of the greatest cricketers in the history of the game. When retired from playing, Bill became a respected cricket writer and broadcaster. Rated as one of the greatest bowlers, he was quite a tall man (6 ft 2 inches), so he could whirl his arms to an unusual extend.
In 1935, Wisden wrote of him: "O'Reilly was one of the best examples in modern cricket of what could be described as a 'hostile' bowler."
