Lawrence Edgar Miles (27 March 1896 – 17 November 1967) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Border from 1913 to 1934.
While aged 17 and a student at Selborne College in East London, Miles made his first-class debut for Border, alongside another Selbornian, Roelof Oosthuizen, against the touring MCC in November 1913.[1][2] He next played for Border with the resumption of first-class cricket after World War I, and was a regular member of the team during the 1920s, sometimes as captain. He captained a Cape Province team against the MCC in 1930–31.[1]
He was a middle-order batsman whose highest score was 98 against Natal in the Currie Cup in 1923–24.[3]
Miles married Molly McCann in August 1929.[4] He died in East London in 1967.
