Hussey hits form

AFP, Worcester
Mike Hussey came back to form with his first century in nine months on a day when several Australia top-order batsmen failed In their final warm up game before the Ashes
Hussey made 143 not out on the first day of the four-day tour match with the England Lions, the national 'A' side, here at New Road on Wednesday as Australia reached 337 for eight at stumps.
His century was 1 Jussey's first in any form of cricket since his 146 against India in a Test match in Bangalore last October
"It's been a long time for me to spend so much time at the wicket so it was pretty important at the start of this tour to get my confidence up and spend some good time at the crease," said Hussey.
After a devastating new ball spell by Stephen Harmison, Hussey, approaching his first Ashes series in England at the age of 34, helped rescue Australia with a 141-run starid alongside opener Simon Katich (95).
"It was important to get a partnership going," Hussey explained. "I thought (Katich) played very well again. He's been outstanding really."
Harmison, bidding to regain his Test place, earlier struck left-hander Phillip Hughes square on the helmet with his first delivery of the day.
He then accounted for the 20-year-old with another rising delivery, Hughes caught off his bat handle fending to Joe Denly at gully.
The Durham paceman also struck Ricky Ponting on the shoulder in a fiery opening spell -- which signalled his intent to return to the senior side ahead of Sunday's first Test squad announcement -- before Graham Onions, his county colleague, dismissed the Australia captain for a single.
Harmison famously drew blood from Ponting's cheek on the first morning of the 2005
Ashes series at Lord's but was dropped during England s tour of the Caribbean earlier this year after some wayward displays.
Hussey and Katich steered the tourists away from trouble before the number four, playing up the order above Michael Clarke, shared a crucial seventh-wicket stand with Mitchell Johnson worth 109 in just 29 overs.
Australia had lost four wickets for 32 runs to be 215 for six at tea after Katich, Clarke (four), Marcus North (one) and Brad Haddin (seven) all succumbed in quick succession.
Katich struck 15 boundaries in his 95, but gave England's toiling attack a gift when he failed to capitalise on a wayward leg-side delivery from Harmison and picked out Onions on the fine leg boundary.
The Durham duo are widely regarded to be competing for the same Test place but Onions said he hoped they could play alongside each other in the Ashes.
"Me and Harmy have formed a pretty formidable bowling attack this season. Harmy with his aggressive way ... and me at the other end trying to pitch it up," he explained.
"It's something I think we definitely can do for England. Whether we’ll get the opportunity I’m not sure."
New South Wales opener Katich earlier had an escape on 37 when Onions, at leg slip, missed a sharp catch off Sajid Mahmood.
Mahmood also dropped Hussey on 75 off his own bowling - a chest-high chance he should have grasped - before Hussey brought up his hundred with a delightful back foot cover drive for four off leg-spinner Adil Rashid.
Hussey also escaped when Rashid grounded him in the slips on 132, but generally looked unflappable in humid conditions.
His return to form will delight the touring side following relative failures against South Africa over the past six months.
Hussey averaged close to three figures for the early part of his belated international career but that dropped to 22 for Australia's 2-1 series win in South Africa and just 17 in their preceding home series loss to the Proteas.
