Compton.

Qualitatively close but one just had an objectively better career.

Hmm, let's see. What's that? Ho, it's a failure away from home for Mr Compton!
I'll flip the page. Oh dear, a quiet series overseas.
What's this here? Golly, I do believe it's again a tragic tour.

But everywhere I gaze, one thing grabs my eye. Runs in England. Rather many of them.
I will – I must – extol his graceful and elegant strokeplay like a good Englishman.
It is my civic duty. Let me wax lyrical about August days at Lord's: it behoves me.

I must write to the MCC to ensure we move to six tests a summer.
If Mr Compton plays fewer than three in five matches at home, his average will invariably drop below 50.
I know we must keep it afloat that mark so the CricketWeb automatons will applaud him.
