Comedian Miles Jupp delivers a wonderfully entertaining account of his improbable journey through India, attempting to report on cricket whilst spectacularly unqualified to do so. Armed with little more than enthusiasm and a talent for bluffing, he blagged his way into press boxes across the subcontinent, rubbing shoulders with seasoned sports journalists who actually knew what they were doing.

What follows is a delightfully honest tale of cultural misadventures, professional inadequacy, and the peculiar challenges of maintaining an elaborate deception in sweltering heat. Jupp's self-deprecating humour shines throughout as he navigates dodgy hotels, bewildering press conferences, and the constant fear of being exposed as a fraud. It's a refreshingly candid travel memoir that captures both the chaos of India and the absurdity of finding oneself completely out of one's depth.
