But Marsh spoke of his belief that Agar has developed considerably while playing for their state.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;I think his consistency has been there this year,&quot; said Marsh on arrival here Wednesday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;It&#39;s something he lacked last year and he&#39;ll probably say that to you. I think he&#39;s bowled fantastically well this year for WA. He&#39;s learning every game he&#39;s playing so, if he does play, he&#39;ll be ready to go.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Marsh also admitted he was still smarting from his decision to attempt a quick single that had him run out for 99 on the final day of the drawn third Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground Tuesday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;It was one of those things, that over it was building up every ball and I was trying to get that single,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;That&#39;s the way it goes. But I&#39;ll take 99 every time I bat.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
