Top 10 Australian bowlers of all time

#5. Jeff Thomson

Thomson left his mark courtesy of his accuracy and aggressive attitude

Few bowlers in cricket have bowled faster than Jeff Thomson. With an action that terrorized the batsmen, Thomson clocked speeds that were too hot to handle for the batsmen. His action which aided his pace took a heavy toll on his body and resulted in frequent injuries.

But despite the injuries, Thomson left his mark courtesy of his accuracy and aggressive attitude. He wrecked England and West Indies during the 1974/75 and 1975/76 season and joined Denis Lillee to form one of the most feared bowling pairs in Test cricket.

He finished with 200 wickets in 51 Tests at an average of 28.00 and he claimed a wicket every nine overs.
