A blistering century from Shane Watson has delivered a one-day international series victory to Australia as the West Indies let another win slip through their fingers in Canberra.
The West Indies were bowled out for 290, 39 runs shy of Australia's massive total of 7-329 at Manuka Oval.
3rd ODI - Manuka Oval
6 February 2013 - Day 1, Session 2
West Indies 1st Innings
| D. Sammy | 8 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 114.29 |
| K. Roach | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 100 |
| J. Faulkner | 8.3 | 1 | 48 | 4 | 5.65 |
The win gives Australia an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-game series.
The visitors were cruising at 2-195 before Mitchell Starc (1-50) was reintroduced into the attack and knocked over Dwayne Bravo for 51.
Bravo's exit sparked a middle-order collapse as Chris Gayle's (2) lean trot with the bat continued when he was clean bowled by James Faulkner (4-48).
Faulkner then backed it up three balls later, knocking over danger man Darren Bravo for 86.
West Indies all rounder Kieron Pollard was then run out by a brilliant piece of fielding by Mitchell Johnson - leaving the tourists well and truly reeling at 6-234.
Late cameos from Andre Russell (43) and Ramnaresh Sarwan (12) weren't enough to get the West Indies across the line and the tail was soon knocked over.
Australia's win was built on the back of a classy century from Man of the Match Shane Watson, who belted boundaries all around Manuka Oval, including a massive 114-metre six.
In his first innings back since injury, Watson constructed his patient century at just under a run a ball, before putting his foot down on the accelerator to finish at 122 off 111.
Phillip Hughes (86) fell short of his third one-day century of the summer when he was caught behind off the bowling of captain Darren Sammy.
Aaron Finch (38) and Michael Clarke (15) both failed to capitalise on steady starts.
Million dollar man Glenn Maxwell (4) improved on Sunday's golden duck before he was caught by Pollard one handed in one of the all-time great boundary-rope catches.
The ball looked to be heading for a certain six before Pollard leapt up, plucked the ball out of the air, and rolled back onto the earth just centimetres from the rope.
He pulled off a similarly impressive vertical leap on the boundary just two overs later when he dismissed George Bailey, who backed up Sunday's match-winning century with 44 off just 22 balls.
Sunil Narine returned the best bowling figures for the visitors with 2-55 off 10 overs.
