Desmond Haynes was acting a familiar role at Phillip Park, St Lucia, today punishing the Australian attack, as he has done from the very start of the Caribbean tour.
Haynes completed his fourth century today from 11 innings played since the Australians arrived in February, and steered the West Indies to a seven-wicket win in the third one-day international.
The West Indies made light of the absence of Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards, reaching the target of 207 needed for victory with 3.2 of the 45 overs remaining.
Haynes, in a first-wicket stand of 98 with Gordon Greenidge in less than 19 overs, had the West Indies on the path to victory.
And when he reached his century with the winning shot, his 11th four, he gave the now customary double-fisted salute.
He also hit two sixes, both in the same John Maguire over.
Haynes has now scored 714 runs and been not out four times against the Australians on tour, at an average of 102.
He was magnificent today, but his innings was no better than those of Allan Border and Kim Hughes.
Border continued his marvellous form with a cracking innings of 90, and Hughes made his highest score of the tour, 78.
They came together with Australia in desperate trouble at three for eight, and were not parted until the score reached 158.
But Australia's collapses at the beginning and end of the innings cost them the match.
The tourists lost their first three wickets for eight and their last five for seven.
Border, Hughes and David Hookes. who made 22, were the only batsmen to reach double figures.
Malcolm Marshall and Joel Garner, who took four and three wickets respectively, triggered both collapses.
After five overs of the Australian innings it seemed the match could be over in the first session.
Phillips was the first of five batsmen who failed to score. His replacement, Greg Ritchie, was the second.
But Steve Smith was out before Ritchie faced a ball.
The opener cut Garner superbly to the third man fence, but was out attempting to repeat the shot off the next ball.
After Australia had struggled to reach 206, Haynes and Greenidge began as if they would win the match by themselves.
They soon had the run rate at better than five an over, and added 98 before Greenidge was dismissed in the 19th over.
He attempted to hit Hogan over long-on, but was well caught in the position by Lawson. He made 42, including two colossal sixes - both hooks off Rackemann.
Richie Richardson, scorer of centuries in each of the last two Tests, made only six before giving Hogan a catch at square-leg, off Maguire.
At two for 119, Australia had some chance, but that soon vanished when Haynes and Gus Logie-added 61 in quick time.
Their stand took the total to 180 and the West Indies needed only 27 from eight overs when Jeffrey Dujon came in to join Haynes. From that moment proceedings became academic.
