8 Bowlers with the weirdest bowling actions ever

7. Jeff Thomson, Australia:

The Aussie bowler was well known for his fast-as-flash action when he would come closer to the box to deliver the ball. Thomson used the conventional style of swinging his arm as much as he could towards the ground to get maximum speed. What was unusual was the acceleration he would pick up in the few final steps to jump and release the ball like a bullet. The ball generally made the batsman look in amazement, after pitching when it would rise like a swallow.
