Grandson of the legendary Denis, Nick Compton was raised in South Africa and only arrived in the UK (at Harrow) as a teenager, and his early upbringing is manifest in his swagger at the crease. A talented allround ballplayer, he represented Natal at tennis, football and hockey at junior level, as well as being a decent six-handicap golfer.
