description: "James Donald Higgs is a former Australian leg spinner who played in 22 Test matches between 1978 and 1981. In the words of Gideon Haigh \"Jim Higgs was Australia's best legspinner between Richie Benaud and Warne. His misfortune was to play at a time when wrist-spin was nearly extinct, thought to be the preserve only of the eccentric and the profligate, and so to find selectors and captains with little empathy with his guiles.\""
