Pat Cummins' team goes into the second Test of the night in Adelaide with great vigor and a 1-0 lead in a five-match series after dominating England with bat, ball and pitch.
Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting said he was surprised, especially since Broad had knocked off dangerous man David Warner seven times in the final Ashes.
Ollie Robinson, Chris Woakes and the ever-dangerous Mark Wood worked hard, but with Ben Stokes holding his knee involved, they had to work hard to get their sticks.
Left-hand spinner Jack Leach, who prefers to Broad, has been mercilessly beaten in the attack and ridiculed by the British media, with suggestions that he may not play another Ashes Test. Dom Bess is another spin option for them.
Broad and Anderson are expected to return for the second night of the second night test in Adelaide next week, where conditions are set to suit them beyond Brisbane.
Winning a toss can be a huge bonus, but not when you make the wrong call.
Nathan Lyon, captain Pat Cummins, David Warner and Travis Head played well as Australia beat England by nine wickets in the first Ashes Test at Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday.
Chasing 20, Alex Carey (9) and Marcus Harris (9 *) did an easy task chasing as the managers found victory in just 5.1 overs.
Pat Cummins scored 5 wickets in the first innings and Lyon beat 4 in the second in Australia. By hitting, Head hit a hundred for the athletes and Warner had registered 94 runs in the first innings.
