Jeff Thomson Urges Officials To Let BGT ‘breathe’ Amid Spirit Of Cricket Debate

The Daily Telegraph: Former Australian fast bowling legend Jeff Thomson has joined a growing chorus of voices calling for match officials to ease up on strict enforcement of regulations and allow the natural intensity of the game to unfold in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Thomson emphasised the importance of retaining the fiery competitiveness that has become synonymous with the iconic series. Reflecting on the heated exchange between Australian batter Travis Head and Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj during the Adelaide Test, Thomson said he preferred such moments over players being over friendly on the field.

“I would rather see that (showdown in Adelaide) than batsmen joking with bowlers,’’ Thomson was quoted as saying by Sydney-based The Daily Telegraph. “At least you know they are playing seriously. People who pay their money don’t want to see them being matey. They want it full-on.’’
