Kuala Lumpur: Australia serves a timely warning to Champions Trophy contenders by clinching the cricket triseries with a crushing 127-run victory against the West Indies in the final here Sunday (24 Sep, 2006).

The Aussies, who field their best eleven, put up a commanding all-round performance on the big day by posting a challenging 240 for six and then skittling out the Caribbeans for a paltry 113 in the day-night clash at the Kinrara Oval.

After Damien Martyn and Andrew Symonds set the stage for three-time world champions with timely half-centuries, Brett Lee turns in a powerful fast bowling performance of 4-24 to blow away the Windies line up.

It makes Lee the most successful bowler of the series with 11 wickets.

Nathan Bracken is equally impressive with figures of three for 15 while all-rounder Shane Watson chips in with 2-30.

The Windies, holders of the Champions Trophy, suffers their fourth successive batting failure, triggers by the leg before dismissal of Chris Gayle to a toe-crusher from Lee off the first ball of the innings.

Only three batsmen, Ramnaresh Sarwan (36), Dwayne Smith (30) and Shivnarine Chanderpaul (12), make double-digit scores while four are out for nought.
