About Mark Higgs (cricketer)
- Mark Anthony Higgs (born 30 June 1976 in Queanbeyan, New South Wales) is an Australian first-class cricketer who played for South Australia, New South Wales and the ACT Comets.
- He was an allrounder who bowled both slow left-arm orthodox and slow left-arm chinaman.
- With the bat he was an aggressive left-handed middle order batsman. Before moving to NSW in 1998-99, Higgs represented the Canberra Comets in one day domestic cricket.
- The side did not play first class cricket so a move to the Blues allowed him to expand his horizons.
- He had played in Canberra's first ever season in Australian domestic cricket, smashing 36 and taking three wickets on his debut in 1997-98. He had trouble holding onto his place in the side in NSW but after a strong finish to the 1999-2000 season was named as a surprise replacement for the injured Shane Warne in the 2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy in Kenya.
- Despite playing in a warm up match he did not play an ODI. In 2000-01 he had his best season with the highlight being an unbeaten 181 in a victory over Queensland.
- He also impressed with 4 for 15 in a one-day game against Western Australia. Higgs moved interstate again in 2002-03, this time to South Australia.
- He made a century on debut but struggled from there on in. From 2006 to 2009, Higgs captained the Queanbeyan District Cricket Club.
