Melbourne, Feb 11: Australia skittled out West Indies to score a 17-run victory and completed a 5-0 whitewash in the ODI series on Sunday.




Australian stand-in player Adam Voges hit a  magnificent unbeaten 112 as the home team gave the tourists a target of 275 runs to win.  

For West Indies, Johnson Charles struck his maiden ton off 120 balls that included eight fours and a six.

Skipper Darren Sammy was caught for 23 off 18 balls by Brad Haddin from McKay's ball.  

Darren Bravo managed 33 in a partnership of 106 with Charles but he also fell to a low catch off Doherty's spin ball to James Falukner.  

Australian captain Shane Watson praised Voges. "He was absolutely amazing, the way he controlled the innings."  

Said Voges: "I guess you never say never... the great thing is, the selectors have brought me back when I'm playing well."

"You have to make the most of it while it lasts."
