We all know that this series is  completly one-sided. West indies is a weak team in the Test format. On the other hand this pitch is pace  bowling friendly. We all know that australia's pace bowlers are very experienced. And it was predicted that australia's bowlers would do well on  this type of pitch.

West  indies could only score 143 runs in the second innings. West indies' first  innings score was  253 runs . But West Indies lost all their wickets in the second innings after scoring only 143 runs . If the pitch had not been pace friendly, then perhaps  we would have seen a slightly  different result in the match. The match would have been more competitive.
You are right this Test match was completely one sided because West Indies is a team in Test cricket especially against fast bowling, and pitch was perfect for pace bowlers which Australia experienced quicks excel at. And we know better than Australia is much better as compare to West Indies. West Indies low scores like their second innings collapse to just 143 clearly showed they could not handle conditions or Australia excellent fast bowlers. If pitch had not favored pace so much next match likely will be much closer and more exciting.
