I had to look this up.
Richard Bede McCoskerOAM (born 11 December 1946) is a former Australian cricketer.
McCosker played in 25 Test matches and 14 One Day Internationals in a career spanning 1975 to 1982, playing as a right hand batsman.
He is well remembered for playing in the 1977 Centenary Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground after he had his jaw broken by a bouncer off Bob Willis in the 1st innings. In the second innings he batted at number ten in bandages with his jaw wired shut, making 25, and sharing a 54 run partnership for the ninth wicket in with Rod Marsh. This was a crucial contribution in a tight match which Australia won by 45 runs.

What a beast, and in answer to your question -nope I can't imagine any of these modern guys doing a McCosker.... I don't know if I blame them though, look at his head- it's all skewed to one side. Imagine calling for a quick single. Built different back then.
