Compton on Wisden cricketers list
Posted by Undercover 999 on Wednesday, 10 April 2013
England batsman Nick Compton has been named one of Wisden's five cricketers of the year. The 29-year-old Somerset player is the only Englishman on this year's list and emulates grandfather Denis, who earned the accolade in 1939. West Indian batsman Marlon Samuels and the South African trio of Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis and Dale Steyn are also recognised. Australia captain Michael Clarke is named leading cricketer in the world. The cricketers of the year are nominated for their achievents in the previous English summer and can only receive a Wisden nomination once in their career. Compton amassed 1,494 first-class runs last term at an average of 99.6. He narrowly missed out on becoming the first player since 1988 to score 1,000 first-class runs before the end of May. But his form earned him an England call-up and he made his Test debut against India before Christmas.
