When I went to Trent Bridge for a WC game a few years ago, you'd have had no idea Wales was hosting the WC too. At Sophia Gardens they play Jerusalem (nothing against the tune but it doesn't get more English than that).

We've had discussions about Cymru and Wales recently (and I think you and I had a misunderstanding - side note: Mrs Citizen who's a Londoner speaks more Welsh than I do and even has her own WhatsApp group and is a Duolingo junkie). There's been discussions about this (Wales cricket not Mrs C) in the Senedd. I find the subject interesting.
Why dont you support the Welsh team that play in the minor counties set up if you are so keen. They play lots of games throughout the summer.

I would say that the major hurdle to cricket becoming independent is the cost. Under the ECB umbrella all coaching and club support is funded by the ECB, without that the game would be undoubtedly worse off.

Cricket in Wales would be stronger with more public support, so there are options to support Wales, Glamorgan or Cardiff (or your local club side). If the support grew the argument for Independence becomes stronger.
