Watch sky sports debate from day 3. Just listen to Compton .. he’s so right

Sadly, as he’s says.. it’s out of fashion now and that’s also the case at lower levels too.

How could it be in fashion? There is hardly any 4 day cricket being played.

Don't rate Compton as a pundit at all

How can Compdog suggest Cook bats 3 when we haven't been able to find him an opening partner for years!

Given his face doesn’t fit with the ECB, he’s more likely to be honest than the others tbf ! Still, you can write it off and continue with the same world class players we have and keep having the results we have over the last 2-3 years I suppose. Just wait for those random innings

Compton himself can't get a game in Div 2 of the Championship.

Compton seems to foster  a genuine bitterness about losing his place in the England side but I never saw a player who was likely to have a long career for England.

He's a prickly character who told Gooch as England batting coach he did not understand his(comptons) batting.

He is also unafraid to speak his mind and whether you agree with him or not was a good player who didn't quite make it.
Had he been given a long run maybe he would of, maybe he wouldn't, no one will even know.

Bayliss wants attacking players in the top 3 and so he had a poor run of form and was jettisoned as quick as they could.

Him and Bob on the debate on sky was more interesting than normal as Willis tried to have a pop at him.

He's not playing for Middlesex as he has semi retired and not interested,it's his benefit this year and his contracted has not been renewed.

This attacking players method Uptop which we want, Vince being the latest example, has it worked?

Test cricket is being devalued around the world, I didn't think it would be England leading the race to the bottom.

He was told he would not be a first-choice pick and could look for another county. There was no 'semi-retirement'. What a joke that they even gave him a benefit.

Compton had his go;wasn't good enough. Dumped Middlesex to bat on some roads,then came back for a final payday.Would rather listen to Jonathan Trotter or anybody else but Compton. P.S. I got him out once.

Everything wonderfully summed up by the brilliant George Dobell.

Umm.. it’s the same as Compton said .. or is it acceptable when George says it ?? Oh the flip side.. james Taylor is sadly awful as he is way to chummy with players and the ecb. Essentially he says nothing useful

I didn't say anything about Compton at all.
