- A right arm fast bowler, he played 56 matches and briefly was seen as a future Australian Test prospect after being selected for an Australian Second XI tour of New Zealand in 1959–60.
- His first-class career ended after he was no-balled for throwing in November 1967.Fisher was born into a cricketing family; his father Alexander played three matches for Queensland in the 1930s.
- Fisher modelled his action on the great Australian bowler Ray Lindwall who was widely regarded as the best fast bowler of the late 1940s and early 1950s.
