Inglis ton, Agar five-for power Western Australia to Marsh Cup title

Western Australia 387 for 7 (Inglis 138, Bancroft 90, Marsh 56, W Agar 2-56) beat South Australia 206 (Hunt 50, Smith 44, Agar 5-64) by 181 runs Josh Inglis tuned up for the India ODI tour with a blistering century as Western Australia capped a flawless Marsh Cup season by thrashing South Australia in a one-sided final at the WACA.Promoted to open after in-form D'Arcy Short was controversially dropped, Inglis smashed 138 off 110 balls to fuel Western Australia's massive 387 for 7 after being sent in to bat.It was Western Australia's joint-highest score in 50-over cricket as they gained a stranglehold on a record-extending 16th title in the competition.South Australia lasted just 31.4 overs in a forlorn chase as WA successfully defended their title in a season where they won all eight matches.Having returned from the India Test tour after being overlooked for selection, left-arm spinner Ashton Agar tied down the batters with trademark accuracy on a flat surface. He finished with his best Marsh Cup figures of 5 for 64 in a tonic for him ahead of returning to India.Player-of-the-match Inglis struck his first List A century in style and overtook Michael Bevan's 135 in 2000-01 for the highest individual score in a final. He shared in a second-wicket partnership of 227 with in-form Cameron Bancroft to dazzle a strong crowd of 2700, a healthy turnout considering the strange mid-week scheduling."It was nice to get up to the top, the fields up...you don't get a chance to score hundreds if you're batting five or six," said Inglis, who revealed he knew about his elevation to open during a team meeting on Tuesday morning. "We'll see if I get an opportunity over there [India] but it's nice I've got the form to go back on."Mitchell Marsh, coming in at No.4 and playing as a specialist batter, continued his impressive return after a three-month layoff from ankle surgery with a 30-ball 56 in the fastest half-century in a Marsh Cup final. After his recent ton in the Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania, Marsh hit five sixes in
