Tibby Cotter was a short (5'8") fast bowler who generated extreme pace from powerful chest and shoulders and on at least 20 occasions shattered the stumps or bails so quick was he. He was also a more than useful batsman, and in a grade match for Glebe he once smashed 152 in 70 minutes in an innings which included 16 sixes.
