Australia on Sunday in the second test in Grenada overwhelmed Western Indies by 133 runs to take over the insurmountable 2-0 lead with one remaining match.
On the hiking side, she dominated the promising wound for hosts, during which Shamar Joseph gave hope to West Indies with an excellent quadruple raid to release Australia to 243.
However, the set 277 for victory on the deteriorating track, however, fell to 143.
“We never really got the partnership,” said Captain Roston Chase. “The new ball was the biggest challenge – we lost too many goals. If we could avoid a few goals in the first 10-15 overs, we would have a better chance.
“Two hundred seventy has always been a challenging task.”
Australia fast pitch Josh Hazlewood hit the fifth van and captured John Campbell LBW on a duck and Mitchell Starc removed Keacy Carty on 10.
Beau Webster rejected Kraigg Brathwaite to seven in his 100. The test, the milestone match will not look forward to it.
Cummins then delivered a punch, Bowling Brandon King (14) with a van that straightened only to cut off the stump.
Shai Hope’s release for 17 years, caught and tuned by Hazlewood, who tried to move, put West India in deeper problems.
Roston Chase created a ghost 34, which included a magnificent six outside the old, but his release of LBW in a lunch stroke effectively ended realistic hopes for healing.
Justin Greaves fell Lbw on the Starc for two, and although Alzarri Joseph hit his back six outside Nathan Lyon and Shamar Joseph hit three maximum in his 24, the end was inevitable.
“We had to break in both matches,” Cummins said. “I’m pretty proud. The new ball was quite complex for both teams.
“The playground got worse, so it was a little easier for our plans. We hit the ball of a good area after the ball and waited for the game to come to us.”
