David Warner's sparkling century lit up the fifth day as the rain-affected third Test between Australia and West Indies in Sydney ended in a draw.
After just 86.2 overs were possible on the opening four days, there was no chance of a result, but Warner enjoyed himself, hitting an 82-ball ton - the fastest Test century at the SCG.
The left-hander finished 122no as the bails were removed with Australia on 176-2 in their first innings in response to West Indies' 303.
The weather, which saw a further delay to play on day five, removed any chance the hosts had of earning a whitewash in the three-match series and they miss out on topping the ICC Test rankings as a result.
After play had started almost two hours late, Australia needed just over an hour to bring Windies' first innings to a close.
Resuming on 248-7, Denesh Ramdin was able to reach his second 50 of the series before the spin duo of Nathan Lyon and Steve O'Keefe saw off the tail.
Lyon finished with figures of 3-120 while O'Keefe posted a Test-best of 3-63.
With just two sessions to bat, Warner was intent on making hay and was quick out of the traps, peppering the boundary all around the wicket.
He brought his 50 up off just 42 balls with a six off Jomel Warrican - the 16th time he posted a run-a-ball or better half-century.
He put on 101 for the opening stand with Joe Burns before the latter fell for 26, chipping Warrican to mid-on.
Australia shuffled their batting line-up, sending in Mitch Marsh at No 3, but it was Warner who stole the show.
He brought up a 16th Test century off 82 balls when he swept Warrican for three, with no other batsman reaching three figures faster than him at the SCG.
Marsh departed for 21 with the game in its final throes as he was caught by Blackwood off Warrican to leave the hosts 154-2, with the game brought to an early end not long after with Warner unbeaten on 122.
