NSW's bowlers have rolled through Western Australia on the opening day of their Sheffield Shield match, before struggling Blues' batters fell cheaply again at a lively SCG.

As the Blues set out to end their 15-match winless streak, paceman Liam Hatcher bagged 4-58 to have two-time defending champions Western Australia all out for 141 on Monday.
