Aussies crushed India to register a comprehensive 298-run win to complete a series whitewash at the Adelaide Oval.
It took less than an hour for Australia to wrap up proceedings on the final day of their fourth Test against India in Adelaide, securing a 298-run win and with it a 4-0 series whitewash.
Heading into Saturday's play, it always looked to be a question of 'when' not 'if' the hosts would seal their fourth comprehensive victory.

Ryan Harris ensured that early inroads were made when he drew Ishant Sharma (two) into having a dab at a delivery that moved away from him, the edge was found and Brad Haddin did the rest.
Having provided stern resistance in the first innings, Wriddhiman Saha (three) offered little this time around, pushing forward at a fullish ball from Peter Siddle and edging to Haddin.
On a pair and having got three first-ballers in the series, Zaheer Khan appeared a walking wicket but he would not go down quietly, letting off a few heaves before he top-edged a pull off Ben Hilfenhaus to David Warner at short cover for 15.
Only four bowlers got a go on the final day and in a turn that has mirrored the series, with all the bowlers chipping in, it was Nathan Lyon who ended the contest when he had Umesh Yadav (one) caught behind.
