Australia recorded their 13th win in the last 14 Tests against the West Indies here on Monday as five wickets from Stuart Clark inspired them to a 95 run victory on the fifth and final day of the first Test.
Clark captured a Test best five wickets for 32 runs from 20 overs to earn the Man-of-the-Match award, as West Indies, chasing 287 runs to win, were dismissed for 191 in their second innings about 40 minutes before the scheduled tea break on the fifth and final day of the Test at Sabina Park.
Leg-spin bowler Stuart MacGill sealed victory, when he had batting bunny Amit Jaggernauth dubiously caught at forward short leg for a duck - a dismissal which TV replays showed that umpire Russell Tiffin's decision was incorrect.
The victory gave Australia a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series, which continues on Friday in Antigua and concludes with the third and final Test in Barbados, starting on June 12.
Denesh Ramdin hit the top score for West Indies in a rearguard effort of 36, Darren Sammy supported him in a 67-run, seventh-wicket stand with 35, opener Devon Smith made 28, and Daren Powell enjoyed himself in a late flourish of 27. But Clarke made sure the match was over as a genuine contest, when he ripped out Ramnaresh Sarwan and Smith in the first half-hour of the morning to leave the home team 60 for three.
