AUSSIE duo Phil Jaques and Doug Bollinger have jetted into Worcestershire and are raring to get stuck into the new season.
Jaques, who averaged in excess of 88 during his maiden season at New Road last term, pursuaded his New South Wales team-mate Bollinger to join him as the County's second overseas player.
The pacey left-armer, who comes highly recommended by former New Road favourite Glenn McGrath, is not fazed by following in the footsteps of Zaheer Khan who took 78 wickets last season.
Bollinger said: "Fair enough, Zaheer Khan is a great international player who took a lot of wickets last year, but if I start worrying about things like that I won't be able to concentrate on my own game.
"I'll just be focusing on myself and my team-mates and looking to do my best."
The pressure will be even greater on Bollinger as fellow pace bowler Matt Mason has revealed he is set to miss the start of the new campaign through injury.
