Fact check - Was Jeff Thomson's speed measured at batsman's end?

He looks quick to me here. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EOyW9TY1t6g

In the seventies he bowled medium pace, but quickened up by the Packer era. Footage of him in 1987 in England suggests he was no longer quick, but he could have deliberately slowed down a bit to exploit the conditions.

Looks sharpish than fast. Notice how easily Lillee is responding while batting. Imran was certainly capable of quick, but I think it was more around early 140's.

Old DK wasn’t the worst with the bat, he averaged nearly 14. But Sarfraz (FM) nearly takes his head off in the same film.
