    Out for 19. He watches the likes of Bairstow and Woakes smashing the Sri Lankan bowlers all over Lords, but he can't manage it himself. It must be a mental thing with him, surely.

    I suppose you could argue that if he didn't have he surname Compton he would never have got near the England team. He never inspires confidence with a bat in his hand and that must surely be his last chance.

    He's surely had his chance now. He's been afforded every opportunity but it's just not happened.

    "Straight Out" Compton, as my friend has nicknamed him.

    If it wasn't for his name I don't think he would have even been in the top 2 or 3 options.
