At the time of his death, Bill O'Reilly (1905–1992) was widely recognised as cricket's greatest ever spin bowler. That assessment has subsequently been challenged by the careers of Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne but, even so, O'Reilly's legacy as one of the sport's greatest players remains intact.[1][2]
