The partnership between Marnus (Labuschagne) and Travis (Head) set the game up for us," said Australian skipper Steve Smith."It's been a good week.

Everyone is contributing when they need to and we got a lot of trust in each other and sets us up really nicely." The defeat ended the reign of West Indies head coach Phil Simmons, who announced his intention to quit after their disastrous recent Twenty20 World Cup campaign, when they exited in the first round.Australia took a stranglehold on day one when Head smacked 175 and Labuschagne hit 163 and they never let up.It propelled them to 511-7 declared with the visitors then dismissed for 214 before Australia posted a quickfire 199-6 to set the West Indies 497 to win.The Caribbean side were never in the hunt after Scott Boland sent down a sensational three-wicket maiden under the lights on Friday evening to leave them decimated."Disappointing for sure.
