Spy Happy Lens

I’m all about developments in technology that make me a better person.  It’s my lifelong dream to wake up a superhuman.  I never wanted to be a substandard commoner of the human race.  With the amount of time I put into working out my super BODY and filling my body with RADIATION, I someday will be that super human persona I dream to be.  That is why I am constantly on the look out for recent innovations in technology that will get one step closer to giving me that competitive edge against my competition.

In the 80's, I discovered a shoe with pump that was supposed to make me jump higher.  Somehow, I couldn’t find the perfect style that aided me in looking COOL.

In the 90's I thought that wearing the pants of my favorite MAGICIAN would also help me perform real magic.  It’s not until my MOM started wearing them did I get any attention.  She saved money by buying 2 for 1 and gave the extra pair to me.

Just a few years ago, a neat little BRACELET was invented that used some biological magic to align the ions in your body or something like that. Instead of wearing just one of those bracelets, I wore them up to my shoulders.  The only people that accepted me though were folks in the NIGHTCLUB SCENE.

I wonder if the new Spy Glasses will help me any.

Clarke happy about Compton exclusion

Venue: Trent Bridge, NottinghamDate: 10-14 JulyStart time: 11:00 BSTCoverage: Ball-by-ball Test Match Special commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, BBC Radio 4 Long Wave and via the BBC iPlayer Radio app, BBC Sport website & BBC Sport app. Live text commentary on BBC Sport website, app & mobile devices

Australia captain Michael Clarke said he was "happy" batsman Nick Compton was left out of the England squad for the first Ashes Test.

Compton, 30, who scored two Test tons in New Zealand this year and an 81 and 79 against Australia recently, was dropped in favour of Joe Root, who will open the batting with Alastair Cook.

Michael Clarke 'happy' about Nick Compton omission

"I'm happy Nick's not playing to be honest. He's got a bit of class and has good defence," said Clarke.

"We haven't bowled to Joe Root yet."

The Australia skipper was speaking at Trent Bridge on the eve of the first Test which begins at 11:00 BST.

Compton initially lost his place when he was replaced by Root as opener for the Ashes warm-up match against Essex.

The Durban-born batsman, grandson of the late England batsman Denis Compton, made his Test debut in India in November, scoring 208 runs in the four matches at an average of 34.

10-14 July: 1st Test, Trent Bridge

18-22: 2nd Test, Lord's

1-5 August: 3rd Test, Old Trafford

9-13: 4th Test, Chester-le-Street

21-25: 5th Test, The Oval

The Somerset player shone during the tour in New Zealand earlier this year but struggled in the home series against the same opposition in May, scoring just 39 runs in four innings.

Root, on the other hand, scored a match-winning 71 from 120 balls against New Zealand at Lord's in May and followed that up with his maiden Test hundred in the second Test at Headingly to put himself ahead of Compton in the thinking of the selectors.

The 22-year-old has been in excellent form since making his Test debut against India in December - averaging 42.40 from 11 Test innings.

"I think what has impressed everyone is that he's batted exceedingly well," said England captain Cook.

"He's managed to change his style and I can see no reason as to why he couldn't handle himself.

Alastair Cook's journey from Maldon to the Ashes

"He's a fantastic young player, he still has some room for improvement, but I think he will be absolutely fine."

England are odds-on favourites to win their third successive Ashes series, and Cook said there was a mixture of "excitement and nerves" among his players.

"Everyone is desperately excited to be here and we've pretty much arrived now," he added.

"There's some nerves floating around but there's excitement too. We have to remind ourselves just how lucky we are and you have to take yourself out of the moment and enjoy it."
