About Miles
Twenty six year-old Miles Jupp (RHB, OB) would be playing for England now if it wasn't for the fact that he is unathletic, with poor hand-eye co-ordination and suffers from a very serious addiction to beef (medium rare).
Instead he is in India in the company of the press corps watching England, sampling the snacks and attempting a bit of light journalism.
He has been interested in cricket since the early nineties, although he never managed to convert his enthusiasm into many runs or wickets. He has converted his enthusiasm as a writer performer more successfully, appearing in his own Radio 4 series and also playing Archie the Inventor in all 453,987 episodes of the Bafta winning "Balamory". (He doesn't keep the award, some producer usually gets those)
He is finding India a bit hot.

My little nephew loves Balamory and wants to live in West Scotland and probably invent something extraordinary. Can I get your signature please, please? (I sit next door to you in the press box)

I whined on The Corridor of Uncertainity, that you didnt have a comments section. ah, you were going to be my fisrt time 'commenting', but i had to give it up to COU.
dont kill us by writing of 100 rupees as small change, Miles.
nice obv on the shruggist phil. indians calls it Maya. Life and beyond are easy to explain by rotating those err cuffs.
(Sorry, Moses, I certainly meant no offence regarding the phrase "small change" . I have removed it. If I thought of 100 rupees as unimportant we would not have quibbled with our first potential taxi driver! Thanks for the feenback and the tip about Maya. Miles).
