Sydney, Jan. 2: New South Wales left-arm pacer Doug Bollinger has won his first cap after being preferred to Tasmanian seamer Ben Hilfenhaus for the third Test against South Africa.

In an apparent horse for courses selection the Australian selectors have opted for Bollinger''s knowledge and success at his home ground - the SCG - which hosts the Test starting tomorrow.

It will mean Australia will play two left-arm pacers for the first time in nearly 20 years, The Australian reports.
