West Indies coach John Dyson conceded his side were being outclassed after Australia sealed the one-day series with a third straight win.

The world champions opened an unassailable lead in the five-match series with Sunday's seven-wicket victory in Grenada.

And Dyson knows that his side, who are ranked eighth in the International Cricket Council one-day rankings, are struggling to compete.

"It should be obvious that we lack some skills," he said.

"Compared to the other side, we lack some batting skills, some bowling skills and some fielding skills.

"Australia are very good in every department plus they have a very strong squad. They've got great depth.

"We're still working on a few skills that we need to develop and we are working on the strength of our squad.

"It's a tall order to expect a team ranked number eight to beat the team ranked number one."
