Australia captain Cummins aims to keep standards high

Australia made it two wins from two matches in the three-Test series in the Caribbean, as they triumphed by 133 runs on Sunday.

Mitchell Starc (3-24) and Nathan Lyon (3-42) starred as West Indies were skittled out for just 143, with Australia having added 22 runs to their overnight total earlier in the day.

Australia now head into the third Test knowing victory in the series is secured, but Cummins stressed that they must not let up in their approach.

"Both tight matches, we had to graft our way in both matches," he said.

"Pretty proud. Much of the same [moving forward]. Keep the high standard, we are playing for World Test Championship points.

"We now have a week off, which is well deserved."

Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey was named Player of the Match, having registered scores of 60 and 30.

"The bowlers did an important job of putting the ball in the right areas," he said.

"Contributing to your team is what you always want to do. To be able to do that and win a series for Australia is fantastic. West Indies came out [to Australia] two years ago, and they challenged us.

"For us to win this series outright, it has been a fantastic tour, and we're looking forward to the next game as well."

West Indies, meanwhile, have work to do before the final Test in Jamaica if they are to avoid a series whitewash.

The form of Kraigg Brathwaite is a particular concern - he is the only Windies batter yet to get into double figures in one of his innings across the series, and his 100th Test appearance was a frustrating one.

"He hasn't looked good this series, and in a team where you are searching for performances, you get very close to saying, 'okay, do we give somebody else a chance?'" West Indies coach Daren Sammy said of Brathwaite.
