Eye of the 'Tiger' could see it all
Philip Derriman remembers in the Sydney Morning Herald what it was like to sit beside Bill 'Tiger' O’Reilly, Australia’s former legspinner and journalist, and hear him analyse what was happening in the middle.
O'Reilly had an ability to read the play that left everyone else in the press box for dead. But for an odd quaver in his voice, O'Reilly would probably have done well on TV if he had wanted to. Interpreting the play is the TV commentator's stock-in-trade, although some, like O'Reilly, have a special gift for it.
