Teutoburg, Queensland born all-rounder Otto Nothing began his first class cricket career while at Sydney University, and first came to the fore scoring 56 and taking five wickets for Combined Australian Universities against M.C.C. at Melbourne in 1922-23: in that season, as in 1924-25, he had the best bowling average in first grade cricket in Sydney. A tall, right-arm medium-pace bowler who could also bowl a menacing off-break on a worn pitch, he made his first class debut for New South Wales against M.C.C. at Sydney in 1924-25 and his Sheffield Shield debut a few days later.
On moving to Brisbane, where he had a medical practice, he played for Queensland from 1927-28, and in the following season scored 121, his only first class century, in just over 212 minutes against New South Wales at Sydney. He was a broad-shouldered, forcing batsman and a particularly powerful driver. He had an analysis of 5-78 (including the wicket of Wally Hammond for a duck) playing against M.C.C. at Brisbane in 1928-29 and, having also bowled well for an Australian XI against the tourists, he was selected for the Second Test at Sydney in December 1928, a game in which Don Bradman, for the only time in his career, was Australia’s twelfth man. Nothling failed to take a wicket but scored 44 in the second innings, having scored 8 in the first innings as England won by 8 wickets.
He played his last game in first class cricket for Queensland in November, 1929. In 21 first class matches he scored 6 half centuries in addition to his hundred, averaging 24.50 with the bat. He took 35 wickets with his bowling at 41.05 apiece, with a best return of 5-39, the only other occasion he recorded a five wicket haul.
Nothling, a fullback, is one of only two Australian rugby and cricket dual internationals, the other being Johnny Taylor. He represented New South Wales, toured New Zealand in 1923 and 19 caps for The Wallabies between June 1921 and July 1924, scoring 36 points.
