The free-spirited Shamar Joseph showed no fear and he and veteran Kemar Roach added 26 for the final wicket before Joseph charged off-spinner Nathan Lyon and was stumped by Carey.

West Indies coach Andre Coley conceded inexperience had played a large part in the dramatic second innings collapse that saw them slump to 19-4.

"I think the challenge has pretty much been the consistency of the bowlers, obviously a wealth of experience in that Australian bowling attack, so their ability to stay patient, and there were times our batters played quite well."
