Going to South Africa in February and going to the last ODI in Cape Town at the stunning Newlands Cricket Ground. There always seems to be a few Welsh flags accompanying the 'Barmy Army'. Anyone on here experienced it?

My brother and I have already said we're going back to Sri Lanka the next time there's a series, and would love to do in the West Indies / South Africa, finances allowing.
Would 100% recommend :thumbup:
I've seen the England and Wales referenceD a lot during this world cup , and over the years many welshman have played very prominent roles in the ECB.Quote:

Springbok park - Bloemfontein
Kingsmead - Durban
