Fast bowler Doug Bollinger bagged a hat-trick as NSW turned their Sheffield Shield match against Victoria on its head during a dramatic day two in Wagga Wagga.

NSW struggled to 206 on a slow wicket on Sunday, only to bowl out Victoria inside two sessions for just 114 on Monday.

Nic Maddinson, then proved that runs could be scored on the Robertson Oval pitch, scoring 93 as the Blues raced to 8-212 off just 44 overs for a lead of 304 at the close.

Maddinson and Peter Nevill (59) shared a 134-run partnership for the fifth wicket, scoring at almost a run a ball to all but take the match out of Victoria’s reach.

NSW spinners Steve O’Keefe (4-46) and Nathan Lyon (3-38) did the early damage, collecting the first six wickets to fall, before Bollinger swept through the tail as the Victorians conceded a first-innings deficit of 92 runs.

Bollinger had Peter Siddle caught at short leg and then clean bowled Chris Tremain, before Scott Boland was adjudged lbw to the hat-trick ball, with the former Test spearhead collecting figures of 3-16 from 12 overs.

First-drop Marcus Stoinis virtually played a lone hand for the Vics and was eventually last man out for 64 as the visitors lost their last four wickets for six runs.
