Fishwick was educated at Wellingborough School and played in the inaugural Minor Counties Championship in 1895 for his native Staffordshire.
[4] After this promising start, Fishwick's career failed to develop in the next two seasons and he did not improve on his highest score in this period.
In addition to his batting, Fishwick was also a fine fielder at slip and the 40 catches he took for Warwickshire in 1905 (41 in all matches in the season) remained the county record until beaten by Alan Townsend in 1951.
[1] In the 1901 census, Fishwick is listed as being a "grain merchant" and is living in Edgbaston, Birmingham with his wife Ruth and a baby daughter.
