Albert "Tibby" Cotter (born 3 December 1883 in Sydney, died 31 October 1917 in Beersheba) was an Australian cricketer who played in 21 Tests between 1904 and 1912. Arguably the best fast bowler through the first decade of the 20th century he had a reputation for breaking stumps. Early moving film of his action clearly shows a slinging action that was to cause controversy in England. He took eight or more wickets in a match four times from his 21 Tests and his strike rate of 52 ranks up with the best.
