After resuming on 173 for five, West Indies were bowled out for 294 just before lunch to give Australia a 2-0 series win.

They had won the won the first Test in Barbados by three wickets while the second match in Trinidad was a rain-hit draw.

Clarke, who has yet to lose a Test as captain, took five wickets in an innings for only the second time in his career, the last being a sensational six for nine in Mumbai in 2004.

Narsingh Deonarine, the first wicket of the day, played at a full length ball and it ended up back in Clarke's hands and the Australians successfully appealed for a caught and bowled.

Roach got an edge to a Lyon off-spinner and the Australian captain took a sensational catch, diving to his left at first slip and holding the ball above the ground.

Clarke's bowling was taking a pounding from Sammy but he still backed himself and it paid off when Ravi Rampaul launched it to mid-wicket for it to be caught by David Warner.
