Stuart Broad's five-wicket haul ensured England's Ashes defence got off to a stunning start in Brisbane.
Broad, who was depicted as the pantomime villain by the Brisbane press, was booed as he began to bowl.
Unaffected by the reaction, Broad bowled out Chris Rogers, David Warner, Shane Watson, Michael Johnson and even skipper Michael Clarke as the visitors managed to restrict Australia to just 273 for eight.
An Australian newspaper has banned the name 'Stuart Broad' replacing it with 'Stuart Fraud' after the Ashes controversy last summer.
Kevin Pietersen insists he is revelling in the exchange of insults between himself and the Australian press.
