Ian Fisher - Sydney University Cricket Club Hall of Fame Article

Ian Fisher is the supreme example of a player who was initially and strangely rejected and unwanted by the Club and yet who returned to bolster the 1st Grade’s fragile batting, to captain 1st Grade to positions of strength, to inevitably top the aggregates, to inspire his younger charges with tactical awareness and belligerent left-hand batting.

In 1970-71, for example, the side relied almost exclusively on Fisher who scored 851 runs. The next in aggregate was Ian Foulsham with 298. When Ian scored 120 against the strong St George side in 1972, the other ten batsmen dribbled out 94 runs. Against Randwick in 1973, on a soft and grassy pitch, his 119 not out included 97 after lunch in even time. In his 100 not out in 1974 against a Northern District side that contained three NSW bowlers, his second 50 was plundered from only 17 balls of destructive mayhem
