Bill O`ReillyPrint Page Print this page

The plaque commemorates Australian cricketer Bill O'Reilly (1905-1992).

Don Bradman rated him, simply as the best bowler he ever saw. O'Reilly was unique both in type and skill, and his nickname 'Tiger' reflected the venom of his medium pace, leg spin bowling. One of the games great personalities, he was also a leading cricket columnist. An SCG stand is named after him.
