HOBART – West Indies suffered their worst Test defeat to Australia in 84 years when they crashed to an embarrassing innings and 212-run loss inside three days yesterday.

Resuming at Bellerive Oval on 207 for six in their first innings, the Caribbean side were dismissed for 223 with left-hander Darren Bravo converting his overnight 94 into 108 – his seventh Test hundred.

Following on by a massive 360 runs, West Indies produced yet another inept batting display to be rolled over in under two sessions in just over 36 overs for a paltry 148, to concede defeat about half-hour before tea.

Only opener Kraigg Brathwaite, with a counter-attacking 94, showed any resistance, hammering 13 fours and a six off 122 deliveries before he was last out.
