I think you may have that wrong. 25.75 was his batting strike rate.
Aussies here will know more about this one.
Bill O'Reilly's career bowling average in first-class cricket was 16.60. It seems no other Australian bowler starting after 1900 has managed an average under twenty (happy to be corrected but can't find any). He played in a high-scoring era and enjoyed seven successful Test series out of seven.
It's difficult to find a weakness. Ugly action? Not as good against left-handers? There were not as many left-handers back then and O'Reilly dismissed English specialist lefties twelve times in Tests, the same number as Mailey and Grimmett.
Any thoughts?

Bonus points to YJB for the match changing quality of the runs, something you don't get out of the stats records alone.
Loses the bonus points for a freak golf accident however... taking the shine off 2022 for him

You sure you're not getting confused with root or am I totally missing something here?

I certainly hope you’re not missing your gooch.

It means the same thing. My mate's band wrote a rap-metal song called "Gooch" which was not at all about cricket. I like to imagine Dave Matthews Band's "The Space Between" was about the same subject matter.
