Just watched this video of Jeff Thomson in action (incidently, one of the best videos of Thomo I've seen) and I'd have to agree with Richie Benaud's comment in the opening sequence - "But just have a look at him in slow motion, that's one of the most marvelous bowling actions I've ever seen". Also, I wouldn't want to be Clive Lloyd's jaw in the 1976 series - ouch!
