Smart Stats:
Michael Hussey's 195 was his third century against England and second in consecutive matches against England after his hundred at The Oval in 2009. It is also his highest Test score surpassing his 182 against Bangladesh in 2006.
Brad Haddin's 136 was his second-highest Test score behind his 169 against New Zealand in 2008. It was also his second hundred against England and third overall.
Haddin's 136 is the second-highest score at the Gabba by a wicketkeeper, behind Ian Healy's 161 against West Indies in 1996-97.
The 307-run stand between Hussey and Haddin is the fifth 300-plus partnership for the sixth wicket and the third for Australia. It is also the highest partnership at the Gabba going past the 276-run stand between Don Bradman and Lindsay Hassett in 1946.
Graeme Swann went for more than 100 runs in the innings for the fourth time against Australia and the 13th time overall.
Steven Finn's 6 for 125 was his third five-wicket haul and best bowling performance in Tests.
