How did O'Reilly's delivery make it hard for batsmen?

  • Fast speed

  • Loud grunt

  • Varying lengths

  • Reading the flight

Answer

O'Reilly, an Australian cricketer renowned for his lethal left-arm fast bowling, posed a formidable challenge for batsmen due to his unique delivery style. His deliveries were notoriously difficult to read, leaving batsmen uncertain about the trajectory of the ball until the last moment. This uncertainty forced them to rely heavily on instinct and guesswork, often leading to their downfall.
