Player ratings: Sam Konstas 'thrown to the wolves' as cult hero's legend grows in Australia's Caribbean triumph
How did each Aussie fare?
It was a nightmare for the batters as fast bowling dominated in the 3-0 Australian victory over the West Indies.
It leaves serious question marks over the Aussie top order after some abysmal returns in the Caribbean.
We run the rule over every player.
Sam Konstas - 1
It was a forgettable series for 19-year-old Konstas. He scored 50 runs at 8.33.
He finished it by grassing two catches off Mitchell Starc's bowling on the final day.
But the question has to be asked, has he been thrown to the wolves?
The West Indies bowling attack has proven to be world class and runs were hard to come by in this series across the board.
Now the consideration is, should the selectors have placed Konstas in Sri Lanka where runs flowed? It could've been a perfect run in for him. But that's the magic of hindsight, we'll never know.
Usman Khawaja - 3
The left-hander struggled badly with 117 runs at 19.50.
West Indies' bowling attack were hard to handle for Khawaja as he tried to take the shine off the new ball.
Australia is struggling to find the ying to Khawaja's yang at the top for a balanced partnership.
He will be 39 years old in December and critics will be asking whether Khawaja has played one season too long.
Cameron Green - 6
It was looking very bleak early on for Green but he improved across the series. He scored 3 and 15 in the first Test after returning 4 and 0 in the World Test Championship final against South Africa.
He'd been out for a long time and is new to the No.3 spot so can be forgiven for taking a while to warm up.
He scored a half century at St George's and then two scores in the 40s at Kingston to average 30.66 for the series and save some face.
Steve Smith - 7
Half-centuries have been almost like centuries in this series where no batter has managed to reach triple figures, or even go close.
Smith's 71 in the second Test was vital and he looked solid again with 48 in the third.
Finished with 127 runs at 31.75 and was batting with a finger splint after a horror injury at Lord's, so it was a fair effort.
Travis Head - 7
Topped the run scorers tally with 224 at 37.33 for the series.
Showed why he's Australia's best batter at the moment, along with Smith, by scoring two half centuries in the first Test.
Can only imagine how much better he'd have fared if there was less pressure when he came in.
Beau Webster - 7
In only a short Test career so far, he's emerging as one of the key Aussie players.
Scored two half-centuries across the series and saved Australia on both of those occasions.
A handy five wickets too, as well as being a gun slips fielder.
Alex Carey - 7
Australia would be in all sorts without his steady hand in the lower order.
In the top three for run scorers with 187 and scored two half-centuries.
Unfortunately he was concussed on the second last day of the series and had to be subbed out for Josh Inglis.
Mitchell Starc - 9
Wreaked absolute havoc on the final day of the series when he took 6-9, and took his career wickets tally to 402.
He took the record for the fastest Test five-for in history.
The Windies batters had no answer to Starc's swinging pink ball in Kingston.
All up he took 15 wickets for the series at 14.80 and a strike rate of 26.2.
Pat Cummins - 7
Overshadowed by his teammate Starc in a series that was dominated by fast bowling.
Cummins still took eight wickets at 18.12 and contributed a 28 and a 24 with the bat.
