Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
The World Series Cricket saw the likes of Ashley Mallett, Ray Bright and Kerry O'Keeffe all run behind the caravan show, thereby opening up a spot for young Higgs. He got picked for the West Indies tour in 1978 and after a few impressive performances in the tour games, landed a Test debut. Along with Bruce Yardely, the leg spinner formed a potent combination. He had a moderate Ashes series that followed without really upping the ante. Once the star players returned from the World Series Cricket, Higgs' spot started to be insecure and he often had to make way for some of the bigger names. His last series was the tour of India where he also put in a match-winning performance in the second innings of the first Test. After retirement, Higgs served as a selector at Victoria while also doing the same role for the country as well. He was also closely associated with molding Shane Warne since the latter's younger days.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
With plenty of what Shane Warne calls "rip", and a good wrong'un, 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. He was chiefly and unfairly known in his time for having been bowled by the only ball he faced on the 1975 tour of England. He did bowl Victoria to a Sheffield Shield, later became a Test selector, and also taught the young Warne how to bowl a flipper.
