I saw Thommo bowl at Lords in 1975 against MCC. Walker opened the bowling with Lillee. Then Gilmour bowled. I was so disappointed. Finally, Thommo came on to bowl. His rhythm wasn’t quite right. He no-balled several times. But his speed was phenomenal. I was seated square of the wicket. Lillee had bowled quickly, the ball was just a red blur as it bounced and made its way into Marsh’s gloves. But when Thommo bowled, even though not quite at his best, I couldn’t see the ball at all. Marsh was standing about 10 meters further back to Thommo than he did to Lillee, and the ball was still climbing as he took the ball chest high. That’s how quick Tommo was before his shoulder injury and on slow English pitches.

I was walking home past the Gabba sometime during the 80's and noticed that entry to the Gabba was free because it was the last few hours of a Sheffield Shield against Tasmania with two Tas batsman left. I sat in the stands in line with the pitch and observed that the wicketkeeper was standing a full pitch-length back in line with me. Thomson came running in towards me, leant back with the ball held with a straight arm, his hand at and beside bum level, then did a slingshot action. The ball travelled at bullet speed but the first few deliveries missed the stumps. The wicket-keepet flung his hands about, sometimes throwing his gloves off each time he caught the ball (a full pitch-length behind the stumps) and so it was a matter of waiting until each delivery was in line with the stumps. Took about 15 minutes overall. Yes, I happened across the amazing Jeff Thomson by chance 1980 - 1984.

The West Indies fast bowlers of late 70's and early 80's might be the fastest of all time. The results and impact, they had made against stronger teams, overcoming pitch conditions and climatic barriers were unmatched in cricket history. Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Sylvester clarke, collin Croft, Wayne Daniel and Malcolm Marshall, among others had proved it, even in the slow pitches of India and Pakistan., that too, without using reverse swing.Others, including Jeff Thomson had always struggled in slow pitches. Even in 1975, when he was at his fastest, Jeff Thomson failed miserably in England. He always failed against Pakistan., both at home and in Pakistan. Dennis Lilee and all other bowlers, except perhaps Richard Hadlee, generally struggled in Asia, while West indians thrived and conquered, everywhere.

Just refer Dennis Lilee's and Jeff Thomson's body language., which is available via numerous videos, from 1978 - till their retirement, they were behaving like shy brides, when playing against the West indians. They were treated very sweetly by some west indians of those era. Plenty of videos are there, by the West indians, who had suffered in that series, who had alleging Australian ugly behavior. West Indies, had the best cricket team, even before Sylvester Clarke and Collin Croft., they had defeated England in England 3 - 1., but before the next meeting with the Australians, they brought these two gentlemen, to treat ugly Australian sledgers. Everybody knows, what Sylvester Clarke had done, for a passive comment, by a Pakistani spectator. When he come to know about the ill deeds of the Australians, inflicted unceremoniously, on the West Indians., then it should have been really painful for the Australian sledgers and Abusers. The result was clearly evident on that 1981 series,staged in Australia. Absolutely submissive body language by Dennis Lilee&co, before the West Indians. Both Sylvester Clarke and Collin Croft were faster., they were taller, stronger and extremely ferocious. Lilee scolded and abused shorter people like Javed Miandad and Sunil Gavasker., leaving out Imran and kapil Dev., this speaks volumes about his mental strength, and what a coward he was in his playing days

Jeff Thomson failed to make any such impact in England, in 1975,when he was reportedly at his quickest. Don't say he slowed down, after the injury., cricket experts always confirmed that, he was still able to bowl at speeds, he was claimed to have bowled, for a limited period, any time in a cricket match, even after the injury, you were mentioned here.Still he failed.,Then his record in Asia, is pathetic., while West Indies, always had an impeccable record, on those slow tracks.Then his one day international record, which, includes a much below par economy rate of 4.56.,is there to confirm my arguments. All those stories of Jeff Thomson's is limited to Australian continent only, outside, there is nothing much to talk about. West Indians proved their class, everywhere.1977 Ashes., England won 4-0., despite Jeff Thomson and Rodney Hogg, firing on all cylinders, with, Greg Chappel as captain. 1976 Aus vs Pak series was locked 1-1., Dennis Lilee, Jeff Thomson &co played. Even that 1974-75 series., England just lost it 2-1.,again all these very fast gentlemen were played. 1975.,in England, just able to cling on 1-0.,first test victory., England dominated the rest of the series, often come very close to victory.Against India, 1978.,escaped with a 3-2 victory.Against the West Indies, in 1976.,it was psychological warfare., verbal abusing sledging, racial commenting, no limitations to a barrage of beamers and bouncers.But in 1978.,WestIndies had the perfect antidotes for Jeff Thomson. Sylvester Clarke and Collin Croft., not only they were the quickest bowlers, taller, faster and stronger than Dennis Lilee and Jeff Thomson.,at that point of time., they were extremely aggressive., i hope you recollect that infamous incident featuring Sylvester Clarke, if he can do that to a spectator., when he get to know the abuse and horror, his teams suffered., how beautiful his reaction would have been to Lilee and Thomson. Reports says thar Jeff Thomson tried to be aggressive, initially during the 1978 series., this time,quietened and tamed by some gentlemen, in no time. Another report says Dennis Lilee got his medicine during packer series /circus.Anyway, from that1980-81 Australia WestIndies series onwards, these gentlemen suddenly become extremely shy and well mannered., not even looking at the eyes of the West Indians. You can check it, from the videos publically out there., to verify the efficacy of the ferocious treatement they got.Before Jeff Thomson, there was an Alan Thomson, who had the habbit of landing on the wrong foot, while bowling. Australian portrayed him as the fastest in the world.., later found out to as fast medium. This may be the case with Jeff Thomson and Dennis Lilee, as well. Failed to do anything worthwhile elsewhere.,Heoroes in/for Australia., zeroes outside.

1976 series between Australia and West lndies, was staged with the most disgraceful and shameful incidents in cricket history, well above the body line series., Plenty of racial abuse and sledging were involved, along with body line from Australian gentlemen, at the helm of affairs, ably supported by a team of sledgers, including Dennis Lilee and Jeff Thomson.West Indies lost that series, very badly, just because of this continued torture. clive Lloyd, himself described it as bruised and battered. But he comeback strongly with gutsy People like Sylvester Clarke and Collin Croft., they were extremely quick bowlers too. Jeff Thomson tried to repeat his 1976 Show by aggression, during the 1978 series, happened in West Indies. This time tamed him up wasting no time. The poor fellow got the necessary lessons, and was reformed. History says., Dennis Lilee and co along with these two leaders were extremely obedient and well mannered, when playing against the West Indies, although they were often arrogant against others. It is wonderful too see, a scared Dennis Lilee and Jeff Thomson, when playing against West Indies
