Brad Haddin blasted a career-best 154 from 162 balls in a brutal display to earn New South Wales first innings points against Victoria at the Junction Oval. Haddin, batting at No. 7, hit 22 fours and four sixes in a stunning counter-attack that lifted the Blues from 5 for 105.

Haddin, who dominated a century stand with Simon Katich, was dropped by Matthew Elliott on 52 and by the time he departed New South Wales had a lead of 105. While the offspinner Jason Krejza moved to his maiden first-class half-century, Haddin added his third fifty from only 38 balls.

New South Wales lost 3 for 7 before lunch, including the nightwatchman Nathan Bracken, who was lbw to Cameron White. White ended day two with 3 for 102 from 25 overs.
