West Indies vs Australia, 1st Test at Roseau, Jun 03 2015 - Match Result

Many thanks for your company and comments. Hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Do join us back for the second and final Test. Until then, ciao, ciao..

Clarke: I thought West Indies fought exceptionally hard. Credit to our bowlers, they found a way to take wickets on this slow pitch. Our bowlers stuck at it and our fielding was really good. The way Warner and Marsh batted, you will see more aggression in Jamaica. Voges is class act and he rightly deserves the opportunity and I think with that maturity and experience, he has grabbed it with both hands.

Ramdin: It was tough. Young Dowrich showed character and Marlon Samuels batted well but we kept losing wickets. Adam Voges set it up for them [Australia]. Bishoo was fantastic, he bowled good deliveries and some magical ones. I think the manner in which we bowled in the first innings was positive. Hopefully, we will do well in Jamaica.

Voges: It has been the perfect three days. To debut for Australia and score a hundred it feels special. The tail supported me well.

Adam Voges, who became the oldest player to record a century on Test debut, is the Man of the Match.

5:05pm: Smith is embraced by Marsh. Darren Lehmann applauds from the change room. Voges plucks out a stump as a souvenir. West Indies, who began the day facing a 145-run deficit, showed fight through a 144-run partnership between Dowrich and Samuels, the highest of the Test. However, things unravelled either side of tea; West Indies collapsing to 216 all out from 181 for 3. David Warner then unleashed a clatter of boundaries, helping Australia wrap up a clinical win inside three days.

As he did at the World Cup final, Smith flicks the winning run and Aust retain the Sir Frank Worrell Trophy inside 3 days. Brutal #WIvAUS
