England's Stuart Broad hit back at booing fans with a devastating five-wicket haul on Thursday but Brad Haddin's fighting knock kept Australian hopes alive in a compelling start to the Ashes tests.
Wicketkeeper Haddin and Mitchell Johnson came to the rescue after Broad, loud boos ringing in his ears at Brisbane's Gabba ground, ripped through Australia's top order on day one.
The pair combined in a counter-punching 114-run stand for the seventh wicket before the outstanding Broad bowled Johnson (64) with the second new ball for his fifth wicket of the innings.
Just before stumps, Australia lost another wicket when Peter Siddle was caught in the slips for seven off James Anderson.
At the close, Australia were 273 for eight and well short of what skipper Michael Clarke would have expected after winning the toss, with Haddin unbeaten on 78 and Ryan Harris not out four.
Haddin made his 13th test half-century as runs came easily in the last session. Johnson racked up his eighth test 50 with a booming boundary before Broad had the last word.
Had it not been for Haddin and Johnson's fightback, Australia would have been in a parlous state after Broad struck twice in the morning session and twice more after lunch to have the home side teetering on 132 for six.
Broad, who was vilified in the build-up to the series for not walking at a key moment during the summer's Ashes tests in England, was unconcerned at his bad-boy role.
"We don't read the papers in the changeroom so I haven't been aware of too much, but it doesn't spur me on...you don't need any more inspiration in playing for your country in Australia's backyard in the first test of a series," Broad said.
"To be able to come here and pick up wickets like I did today and as a team to stamp our authority on the series like we have today, that's all we're here for."
