All-round Australia wraps the series 2-0 to win the Frank Worrell Trophy: Australia won the Jamaica Test by 277 runs to win the series and complete a perfect Pre-Ashes preparation in Second Test at the Sabina Park. The home side was bundled out for 114 in the second innings on day four as the visitors takes the Frank Worrell Trophy and continues with their domination in test to wrap the series up 2-0.

The trio of Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson, tasted success on the fourth day morning as Aussies charged to victory. Starc began the rout when he bowled Shane Dowrich with a vicious in-swinger to complete his third scalp.

Josh Hazlewood, the leading wicket taker in the test series, then chipped in with wickets of Darren Bravo and dangerous Jermaine Balckwood to leave Windies wondering at 5-33.

The partnership between 21-yrar-old Shai Hope and Denesh Ramdin lasted nine overs before. West Indies lost all hopes once Hope was undone by Mitchell Johnson with a delivery that moved sharply off the pitch to cannon into the stumps.

Shane Watson picked up his first wicket of the series when first innings star Jason Holder offered a simple catch to Starc at mid-wicket.

West Indies were 72 for 7 at lunch but Ramdin and Veerasammy Permaul kept Australia waiting after the break. As Johnson ended a 49-run eighth-wicket stand when he removed the Windies skipper Denesh Ramdin for 29, before Nathan Lyon curtailed the match with two wickets in as many balls to finish with the figures of 2-12.
