  Jeff Thomson
While Thomson explores the physical possibilities of the material he uses, both in the abstract and in terms of representation, roofing material and the domestic building and its environment have also thematically become a field of inquiry.
Thomson is very much the self-styled artist-tradesman, a 'traveller' and an adaptable man. The trail of sculptures that he leaves behind form a narrative of his progress.
Thomson's most radical works of recent years involve the printing of patterns and imagery on segments of roofing materials which are then installed on actual buildings.

 Jeff Thomson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeffrey Robert Thomson (Thommo) (born August 16, 1950 in Greenacre Sydney, New South Wales) is a former Australian cricketer.
He was reputed to be the fastest bowler ever to play Test cricket by many of his peers, and was the opening partner of fellow fast bowler Dennis Lillee for some time in the 1970s; their partnership was one of the most fearsome in Test cricket history.
Unfortunately for Thomson and world cricket, just when he was enjoying his prime years, a freakish injury resulting from an on-field collison in an Adelaide Test match against the Pakistanis in November 1976 dislocated his right shoulder.

 Abc of Cricket Forum
Legendary Australia fast bowler Jeff Thomson has stoked the coals ahead of the hotly-anticipated Ashes series by claiming the challenge of old sparring partners England is "embarrassing".
Thomson not only believes England's pace attack of Matthew Hoggard and Steve Harmison offer little to worry the tourists, but the 54-year-old - who was dubbed the world's fastest bowler for almost three decades after he was clocked at 99.8 mph in Australia in 1975 - believes the series will be a complete mis-match.
Thomson's unofficial 1975 speed record was beaten three years ago by Pakistan paceman Shoaib Akhtar, who set a new mark in New Zealand.

With Thomson and Lillee both striking twice and Hadlee chiming in with one victim, the tourists skidded to an embarrassing 44 for five in the 19th over, and were lucky to reach a total of 189 from 48.4 overs.

 Thomson calls on Aussies to look beyond McGrath
Sydney: Glenn McGrath might have declared himself on track for the Ashes but former pacer Jeff Thomson has raised doubts about the veteran medium pacer being at his best for the much-anticipated series and has called on the Australians to look beyond the 'champion' bowler.
However, Thomson said despite all his efforts, McGrath will not be as big a threat as he used to be and whether the Aussies could bank on him would be clear after the first Test in Brisbane.
I feel it is past his heyday but it is hard to judge him on what he is doing in India because they are playing on dreadful wickets.
