Yeah I remember Patterson Thompson's final Test pretty well.
The first thing I remember about this Test was that it was Hayden's debut century [no wonder no Ambrose] and I also remember Blewett getting clean bowled for 99, Thompson was rubbish and so to were most of the other Windies.
Bevan was in his bowling prime, but I had forgotten we went into the test with just mcgrath, bichel, bevan and warne as our attack.

I saw his match in Adelaide. He arrived here with a huge rep as someone who could send the ball down really quick, remember Slater couldn't shut up about him after a tour match in the 1995 tour to the WI.
By the time he then reached Aus in 1996/97, suspect he'd piled on a few kg. With big Ambi missing the Test due to injury, the WI picked Thompson. He was quick enough but hardly lightning, probably topped-out out in the low 140's. Bowled far too short to Hayden (who, even though batting like a plodder, managed to score some quick runs late on day 1 against Thompson) and too wide to Mark Waugh. Bishop, Walsh and especially Cuffy were bowling really well so I guess they had to go after someone. Ironically, when the wheels fell of the next day for Cuffy and Bishop, Thompson cut his pace and bowled bit better. He was still a bit wide but wasn't as short at least. That Hooper bowled 30-odd overs the next day tells you useful Thompson wasn't, though.......

They were finishing there bowling careers by then IMO. So did not include them. Figure of 35 years would ahve dfinitly got them.

25 years ago was February 1984. Marshall was only just coming into his absolute peak years, and both Imran and Hadlee had plenty of wickets left in them too. Hadlee was still nearly two years away from his greatest series, when he destroyed Australia in Australia.

Let's say then last 20 years. That will solve the problems.

Fair enough mate.
