Australia have chosen the same squad as the one which completed the World Cup campaign.
Bevan, Hauritz, Harvey, Symonds and Martyn will join their team-mates during the last (4th.) Test, after which Langer, Love, MacGill and Noffke will return to Oz.

Injury doesn't heal fast enough for Martyn to join West Indies tour
Lynn McConnell - 2 May 2003
Damien Martyn's race to recover from a hand injury to be ready for the one-day international leg of Australia's tour of the West Indies ended today.
He has been ruled out of the Travelex tour and Michael Clarke, who is already on the tour for the Test leg, will remain with the side.
Martyn suffered his injury, a broken right index finger, while in the field during Australia's five-wicket semi-final victory over Kenya at the World Cup on March 15.
Martyn had been receiving specialist treatment since returning from South Africa but a medical review of the injury showed that while it had healed, joint stiffness would prevent him from batting for another four weeks.
Martyn said that missing the Test series against the West Indies had been a bigger blow than missing the one-dayers.
"As time went by it became apparent that things weren't going to be entirely right for the one-dayers either," he said.
"Having had some time to contemplate the injury, I have been able to come to terms with sitting on the sidelines.
"I guess the selectors could have ruled me out of the squad earlier, but they gave me as much time as possible to prove my fitness, which I appreciate.
"I'm naturally disappointed that I won't be on the plane to the Caribbean, but it's important that I allow the treatment to take its course and get things right for good.
"I'm making steady progress, which is encouraging, and I'm really looking getting myself 100% right for the Top End Tour in Cairns and Darwin," he said.
Clarke, 22, made his one-day international debut for Australia in the VB Series match against England at the Adelaide Oval in January, scoring an unbeaten 39 runs from 47 balls, and taking 1-24 from seven overs with his left-arm orthodox spin.
Speaking from Barbados, Clarke said: I feel really sorry for Damien that he still isn't fit, after what must be a frustrating time on the sidelines.
"However, I'm thrilled to be able to stay on with the Australian side and hopefully play some part in the one-day series.
"Just being around the senior players on tour has been a terrific learning experience and I'm grateful for being given the chance to continue that.
"The one-day international that I played in Adelaide in January was the highlight of my career to date, so I'm really excited that there's the opportunity for more matches in national colours," he said.

A Very young inexperienced Windies sqaud. Should be interesting to see if they can cope with the presure put on by the Aussies.
I think that it is a good thing though, giving some of the young players a chance to show their stuff against the best in the world. It will test their character, and seperate the men from the boys.
It will be interesting to see who puts their hand up.

ok ok ok, so we cant bowl, but atleast we can bat
the ODI series starts on saturday night or sunday morning at 12:30.
if your an aussie fan (which 99% of u are) i think you'll enjoy tuning into the 7 ODI games knowing that australia could make over 300 in every single 1 of them. Westindies only chance is if they improve their fielding and "Jumping" Jermaine Lawson can run rampid. personally im looking forward to watching the great man "Lara" again and am disapointed to hear that shiv aint playing because of a broken finger. i think the seven games could be very 1 sided. Good luck to both teams and lets all hope there as entertaining as the last test in Antiga!
GO WINDIES!

first ODI starts in 3 hours!!! after a Collingwood loss im DESPERATE for atleast a bit of success tonight! GO WINDIES!
my prediction for this game is...... and i quote " Westindies will bat first, Lara will make 111, and Windies will amass 247-8
Aussies will come in and lose 3 wickets before reaching the total!

Australia made 5/270 with Ponting and Lehmann getting half centuries and Bevan (43 from 44 balls) and Harvey (48 from 30) batting well at the death.
The Windies batsmen all got starts but no one played the big innings. Gayle and Powell both got 37. Smith batted at first drop for 26 and Lara, 23.
In the 24th. over, rain stopped play. After the rain, the Windies revised total was 208 from 37 overs.
They went very close, losing by 2 runs with Sarwan 47 n.o.from 34 balls.
Harvey completed a good double with 3/37, including Lara, but somehow missed Man of the Match. That went to ponting. Lee took 2/52.
