David Hussey struck his maiden one-day international century as Australia were bowled out for 345 by Scotland in Edinburgh.

Hussey bludgeoned the Scotland attack for 111 from just 83 balls, and took a particular liking to the off-spin of Majid Haq who he dispatched over the mid-off boundary for all five of his sixes.

At one stage the game was held up to find a new ball after Hussey sent a lofted off-drive into the trees outside the ground.

His 114-run stand with Adam Voges (72), from 83 balls, in the latter overs paved the way for Australia's total, their biggest on British soil, after Shane Watson's breezy 68 from 41 at the top of the order set the tone.

A late flurry of Australia wickets saw the tourists bowled out from the final ball of the 50 overs, with Gordon Goudie bowling debutant Dirk Nannes - who played for Holland at the World Twenty20 in June - to finish with figures of five for 73.

Scotland had begun the game well when Dewald Nel removed David Warner for a duck in the first over, the opener feathering a catch through to wicketkeeper Marc Petrie.

The tourists also lost stand-in captain Michael Clarke (16) cheaply when he misjudged a Goudie slower ball and was bowled attempting a swipe to leg.

But despite the early wickets Watson was content to play his shots and raced to his half-century from just 30 balls.

He took 16 from Richie Berrington's first over, but departed soon after when he flicked Nel to Ryan Watson at deep square leg.

Reckless strokeplay was all that was threatening to keep Australia's score under 300, with Cameron White needlessly skying a catch to Goudie at deep mid-off when he had reached 19.

That brought Hussey and Voges together with the score on 143 for four after 24 overs and Scotland skipper Gavin Hamilton responded by bringing on his slow bowlers to try and strangle the scoring rate.

The tactic did not work as Hussey took an immediate liking to Haq, smashing him over mid-off for consecutive sixes.

Voges was happy to play second fiddle, adding just 29 in their century stand, although Hussey rode his luck when Gordon Drummond athletically held a catch only to jump over the mid-on boundary in doing so.

Hussey did depart next over when Neil McCullum held on inches in front of the ropes to end an innings that included 10 fours and five sixes.

Voges took up where Hussey left off, thrashing four sixes to reach 60, as Haq's miserable day worsened when he dropped a simple return chance.

Drummond eventually removed Voges caught in the deep before Australia's second debutant of the day, Tim Paine, continued the run fest with an unbeaten 29.

The tourists might have then expected to post a score of over 350, but the late hitting never materialised as Goudie claimed the final four wickets for 22 runs.
