SYDNEY - NSW will wait until the morning of the ING Cup cricket final on
Sunday to make a call on the fitness of Brad Haddin and spearhead Steve
Waugh.
An MRI scan today revealed Waugh's hamstring injury, suffered while
batting in yesterday's crucial win over South Australia, was low grade
with an expected recovery time of seven to 10 days.
Similarly, Haddin was expected to take a similar amount of time to
recover after straining his right hip flexor muscle while fielding
against the Redbacks.
Both will travel to Perth with their team on Friday but a decision won't
be made until Sunday morning on whether they can play.
NSW takes on Western Australia in the final at the WACA Ground.
