Ian Douglas Fisher (born 31 March 1976, [1] Bradford,West Yorkshire,England) is an English first-class cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a left-arm slow bowler. He made his first-class debut in April 1996 during Yorkshire's preseason tour of Zimbabwe,and in his first innings took 5 for 35 against a Mashonaland Invitation XI. [2] However,the surge in form of Richard Dawson stopped Fisher from progressing with Yorkshire,and he moved to Gloucestershire for the 2002 season. He had a decent summer,scoring over 500 runs and taking more than 30 wickets in first-class cricket;he also scored 103 not out against Essex,which remains his only first-class century. [3]
Fisher helped Gloucestershire to promotion to Division One in the County Championship in 2003,but gradually fell away from first-team contention:by 2008 Twenty20 was the only form of the game where he was only playing more than a handful of matches. In 2009,he left Gloucestershire to join Worcestershire,but he was not retained at the end of the season. [4]
