2:09 pm on 16 March 2010

The Australian fast bowler Doug Bollinger doesn't expect the New Zealand crowd to react negatively to vice captain Michael Clarke's return when the first cricket test gets underway in Wellington this weekend.

Clarke left the side during the one day series against the Black Caps to to sort out his relationship with his partner, model Lara Bingle, and has since announced the break off of their engagement.

Australian fast bowler Doug Bollinger says he expects the Basin Reserve crowd to push Clarke's personal matters to the side.
