One down. Six to go.
If Australia's remaining overseas Tests of their tours of the Caribbean and England go as well as the first one, there are going to be some bonus days off.
The tourists thrashed the West Indies in Dominica to wrap up a comprehensive nine-wicket first Test victory inside three days on Friday.
A 144-run stand by veteran Marlon Samuels (74) and debutant Shane Dowrich (70) briefly halted Australia's progress but when Dowrich fell the tourists claimed 7-35 to dismiss the Windies for just 216 in their second innings.
From there it took just five overs for Australia to race to a victory target of 47.
The victory means Australia will retain the Frank Worrell Trophy ahead of next week's second and final Test in Jamaica before heading to England for a five-Test Ashes campaign.
"It's a good start," captain Michael Clarke said.
"It's obviously very pleasing but it's a start. Let's not get carried away.
"I think individuals will look at their own games and see where they can improve and obviously shot selection is an area where we can be more disciplined and selective with.
"We won a Test match in three days so we should be really happy.
"It doesn't matter where you play in the world against what team, if you can win a Test match in three days you're doing a lot of things right so the boys deserve a lot of credit."
Debutant Adam Voges was named man of the match for his crucial 130 not out on day two.
The 35-year-old's performance is sure to create plenty of selection puzzles heading into the Jamaica Test, with opener Chris Rogers likely to be pushing for a recall after missing this game with concussion.
The selectors are however unlikely to tinker with a bowling lineup that took just 139.5 overs to dismiss the Windies twice.
Mitchell Starc (4-28) was the main man on Friday, ripping through the Windies' tail with the second new ball in a three over spell where he claimed 3-2.
Josh Hazlewood took 2-17, including the crucial pre-tea wicket of Dowrich, while Nathan Lyon's two second innings wickets means he's now level with Hugo Trumble on 141 Test wickets as Australia's most successful off-spinners.
Mitchell Johnson also finished the innings with two wickets, taking 2-38, including the wicket of Samuels, who fell hooking to fine leg for the second time in the match.
"We bowled really well in our first innings, we found a way to get a good lead," he said.
"We fought really hard throughout today on a wicket that was extremely slow, so there wasn't much there for our bowlers. To be able to take 20 wickets is credit to the way they thought."
The second Test at Kingston's Sabina Park begins on Thursday (0000 Friday AEST).
