Compton has secured back-to-back centuries in the ongoing series, and continues to steadily fill the void left at the top of the order by the veteran Andrew Strauss' retirement.While the left-handed Compton's achievements against the Black Caps haven't contributed to victory, as the three-match series remains a deadlock after rain-affected draws in Dunedin and Wellington, he trusted a considerably dryer Auckland will bring a turnaround.I'm very proud. But it's been disappointing that two Test matches have been played, and we haven't got a result yet. If you'd asked me two weeks ago if I'd take back-to-back Test hundreds, I think I would have bitten your arm off. It is a great feeling added Compton. You go to bed at night thinking about the Ashes, you might read the odd comment here and there of course. You get full of exuberance, which is what keeps driving you. I would be lying if I said I didn't want to play in an Ashes series, of course I do," said Compton.The Kiwis, meanwhile, have added fast bowler Doug Bracewell to their squad for the series decider. A foot injury sidelined Bracewell from the first two matches, and his return is subject to a fitness test on Wednesday.But having played enough, looking too far ahead doesn't do any good. You have to make sure that you stick to the next game. After this series I go back to county cricket, I get my head down again and make sure if that time arrives, I put myself in the box seat.
