Hussey Lead in Aussies Big win Against Scotland

Edinburgh: Australia's big-name bowling attack shut down Scotland for a 189-run win after David Hussey provided the initial warmth with his first ODI century on a shivery day in Edinburgh.

Hussey's brisk 111 allowed the tourists to speed to 345, their 12th largest total, and the hosts did well to manage 156 before being dismissed in the 40th over.

The sun came out for Scotland's innings but the Australian fast bowlers took a while to shake off the cold and the captain Gavin Hamilton and Frazer Watts started by putting on 51 in 56 balls.

Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Dirk Nannes and Shane Watson were all trialled for an early breakthrough, but the opening pair had few problems until Watts played on to Nannes, giving the left-arm fast man his first wicket on debut.

Brief Score:
Australia: 345 (Hussey 111, Watson 68, Voges 72, Goudie 5-73)
Scotland: 156 (Hamilton 38, Watson 3-29)
Result: Australia won by 189 runs
Man of the Match: David Hussey (Australia)
