Agency, Melbourne :
Mitchell Marsh claimed four wickets as Australia broke up a defiant West Indies second innings to claim a 177-run win Tuesday in the second test to retain the Frank Worrell Trophy.
Jason Holder (68) and Denesh Ramdin (59) shared an aggressive 100-run partnership to highlight a gritty batting performance for the West Indies after Australia declared on its overnight score of 179-3.
The West Indies went to tea on 146-4 and the test seemed destined for a fifth day but Marsh (4-61) sparked a collapse midway through the evening session when he had Ramdin caught behind for 59.
