Australia captain Michael Clarke has claimed that his side will not be getting carried away following the series victory over the West Indies.

A five-wicket haul ensured that Australia wrapped up the series 2-0 this week but Clarke insists that the team still have a lot of improving to do.

Clarke said: "We as players don't consider ourselves as the number one Test team but we know that is a goal we're working to.

"I think we're ranked third now, so I still think we're a way off that. We need a lot of improvement to become the number one team.

"It's not just about one series or one summer - it's consistency that gets you to be the number one ranking."

Australia have lost just one of their last nine Test matches.
