"West Indies fall short in run chase in first Test  Ben Dorries | May 27, 2008
STUART CLARK skittled the West Indies as Australia took a 1-0 Test series lead and put one hand on the Frank Worrell Trophy in Jamaica today.

The New South Welshman took his best Test figures of 5-32 to storm through the West Indies on the final day as Australia won by 95 runs after bowling the West Indies out for 191.  (Scoreboard)

Clark's match figures of 8-91 were a throwback to 2006 when he launched his Test career in stunning fashion in South Africa with a man-of-the-series performance with 20 wickets in three Tests.

The West Indies challenged Australia over the first four days, and gave the world champions an enormous fright when they bowled them out for 167 in the second innings, but did not stand up when it counted most.

It is a familiar theme for West Indies cricket which has had plenty of false dawns in the last few years but its players seemingly lack the belief to finish the job.

Australia has virtually assured it will retain the Frank Worrell Trophy because the West Indies would need to win both remaining matches in the three-Test series to pinch it back.

The day belonged to Clark who won man-of-the-match honours for his incredible bowling burst. He was the perfect man for the job with his precise accuracy and length doing the job on a pitch which was providing variable bounce.

Starting the day at 1-46 eyeing off a ground record run-chase of 287, the West Indies problems started when Andrew Symonds took a screamer of a catch at extra cover to dismiss Ramnarash Sarwan.

The West Indian skipper tried to turn a Clark delivery to leg but got a leading edge and Symonds palmed the ball in the air with one hand before diving to complete the catch.

Clark was soon in the thick of it again when he got a ball to jag back into Devon Smith who did not offer a shot and was struck on the pads plumb in front.

Not to be outdone, Brett Lee (2-81) continued the destruction when he got sweet revenge for being hit for successive fours by Runako Morton.

Lee had his man when Morton tried to repeat the dose with an airy drive but was trapped in front on a pitch that was providing variable bounce.

Shiv Chanderpaul, the first innings centurymaker, was always going to hold the West Indies hopes. The Sabina Park crowd was plunged into stunned silence when Chanderpaul (11) punched a ball back to a gleeful Lee who pouched the catch in his follow-through.

Simon Katich was breathing a sigh of relief because he had dropped a regulation first slips chance off Chanderpaul only minutes earlier.

The West Indies went to lunch at lunch 6-117, needing 170 more runs, but a promising stand 67-run stand between Ramdin (36) and Darren Sammy (35) gave them renewed hope.

Leg-spinner Stuart MacGill was the unlikely hero in the field when he flung down the stumps from mid-on to run out Ramdin. MacGill later kickstarted victory celebrations when he took the final two wickets in successive deliveries although Amit Jaggernauth was unlucky to be given out caught at short leg with the ball going nowhere near the bat.

Australia's fielding remained rusty at times with rookie wicketkeeper Brad Haddin also dropping a tough chance off his West Indian counterpart Ramdin while Phil Jaques put down Sammy in the outfield.

Michael Clarke will come into the side for this week's second Test in Antigua at the expense of either Brad Hodge or Simon Katich. Opener Matthew Hayden has started running on his injured ankle and is likely to face a fitness Test later in the week to determine whether he will play. "
