Jamaica: Australia will head into the first Ashes Test full of confidence after they demolished the West Indies on the fourth day of the second Test and secured a comprehensive 2-0 series victory.
The gulf in class between the two teams was there for all to see in the morning session as Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood led the rout of the home side for 114 to complete the win by a whopping 277 runs.
It is Australia's second-largest margin of victory over the West Indies in the Caribbean and their fifth-largest in Frank Worrell Trophy Tests.
The home side started the day at 2-16 having been set an improbable 392 for victory and lost 5-56 in the morning session.
Starc started the rot in the fifth over of the day in typical fashion, a full inswinger squeezing between the bat and pad of Shane Dowrich (4) and cannoning into off stump.
Hazlewood joined the party soon afterwards when he forced Darren Bravo (11) into a firm push outside off stump and Shaun Marsh took a brilliant low catch at gully for the second time in the innings.
It was Hazlewood's 11th wicket of the series, one more than Starc, and he stretched his lead to two in his next over when Jermaine Blackwood was cleaned up by one that moved in and kept a little low.
Blackwood was the third duck of the innings and his departure left the home side in tatters at 5-33 from 19 overs.
Promising youngster Shai Hope and captain Denesh Ramdin resisted for nine overs and 22 runs before the former was bowled by Mitchell Johnson with a delivery from around the wicket that jagged in, kept low and went between bat and pad.
The home side were six down for just 55 and the collapse continued seven runs later when first innings hero Jason Holder spooned a simple catch to Starc at midwicket to hand Shane Watson his first wicket of the series and have the tourists seven down at lunch.
Ramdin and Veerasammy Permaul pushed the total past the 100 mark after the break, thanks in part to two outside edges in four balls that flew to Michael Clarke's right at second slip and down to the third man boundary.
But Ramdin couldn't squeeze his next edge wide enough, Clarke taking the catch to give Johnson his second and end the partnership at 49.
