O'Reilly was a menace to which particular cricketers on the field?
Umpires
Opening batsmen
Bowlers
Tired bowlers
Answer
Tired bowlers were often troubled by O'Reilly due to his consistent deliveries of short-pitched balls, termed as bumpers, aimed directly at the body of the batsmen. These deliveries, though not considered dangerous in today's cricket, tested the physical and mental strength of the batsmen during O'Reilly's era.
