“It was nice to get there and support the captain like I did” said Compton, who shared an impressive 165-run stand with the left-hander. “To put on 160-odd with the captain and get that score up front is great and it's looking good at the moment,” he added further.
Sussex county has signed all-rounder Chris Jordan on a two-year contract, after he was released by Surrey at the end of the 2012 season.
The 24-year-old Barbados born Jordan, who is eligible to play for both West Indies and England, had a turbulent 2012 season at the Kia Oval, which saw him losing his place in the first team, before being released by the club at the end of the season. Jordan, who played 72 matches for Surrey, picking up 121 wickets, said that he was delighted to be joining the Sharks.
“I’m delighted to be joining such a fantastic club,” the all-rounder said after signing a two-year deal at the Probiz County Ground, Hove. “I hope to play a key role in helping Sussex challenge for honours in all three formats in 2013, and I look forward to joining the boys for pre-season and pushing for a place in the starting XI for the first game of the season,” the right-hander added further.
Veteran Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne today clarified his comments regarding a probable Ashes return, saying a Test comeback is not on his agenda.
Disappointed by the Australian bowlers’ performance during the 309-run crushing at the hands of South Africa, at Perth, Warne had earlier this week said if the Australian skipper Michael Clarke asked him to come out of retirement he would be able to play to Test standards.
However, while addressing a press conference on Thursday, the 43-year-old Victorian leg-spinner said that he was not even considering such a move, even though he was confident he could still topple the Three Lions in the next year’s Ashes series.
