NSW BLUES PREPARE TO HEAD TO NEWCASTLE

New South Wales will look to maintain top spot on the Sheffield Shield ladder when it takes on Western Australia in Newcastle this week.
With Doug Bollinger taking a hat-trick against Victoria in Wagga last round, the Blues’ batsmen are hoping to take centre stage against the Warriors.
“From all reports the Newcastle wicket quite flat and true, so I think we’ll see some higher scores than we did in Wagga and us batters can go and post a big total and give ourselves the best chance.”
Both teams will arrive in Newcastle tomorrow for net sessions at Number One Sportsground, before the match gets underway on Wednesday.
