After winning the ODI series against England without losing any of the games, Australia followed it up with a whitewash over West Indies in the Test series on Sunday. Batting first, Australia had the edge over their opponents from the beginning with a mammoth total. They declared the score on 511/7 as Marnus Labuschagne played a knock of 163 runs while Travis Head scored 175 runs in the first innings.
Australia then gained a 297-run lead as they wrapped up the opposition on 214. Overlooking the option of follow-on, the team came out to bat scoring 199/6 in the second innings before the declaration. West Indies had a huge total of 496 to chase and they were out of the game right from the start. They lost the wickets at regular intervals in the second innings and eventually ended up managing a team total of only 77.
Overall, Australia dominated the whole contest and they won with a convincing margin of 419 runs in the end. Cricket fans praised Australia for their clinical display and expressed their sentiments on Twitter.
