Always wanted England to lose (in any sport really) because it's England.
Now trying to support them as I didn't realise they prop up Glamorgan.
Should they have more of a nod to Wales in their name, badge and everything else? Would be nice to see a Welshman in the squad.
Wales has always had great representation both players and very high administration positions .
We have to produce the players locally and that's Glammys job they're good enough they play ask Croft, Jones , Morris, Maynard , to name a few who have done well

Sophia Gardens does stage England games fairly regularly at least.
Maybe they could add a dragon to the bottom of their badge. Adding dragons to the bottom of badges is always popular...
Wales' sporting relationship with England is of course very interesting. Lots of hatred for the rugby team. Mixed views on the football team, lots of support for English club sides, all pretty friendly bar a few Nationalists in the Olympics etc. Cricket is perhaps most interesting of all. It is officially England and Wales but 99% of the time its referred to as England and everyone seems cool with that and happy to wear the three lions etc. I know a few 'red-wallers' at the football who will happily wear England cricket stuff.
It is true the ECB (Why not the EWCB?) has been very good to Glamorgan, but I am always surprised there is not more of a move for a formal Welsh team.
We would be shite of course, but still.
Personally, I'm one of those who is very supportive of England in cricket although I would probably be happier to see Wales referenced a bit more and a few more Welsh flags in the crowd etc.
I used to love cricket , glamorgan , England although I loved seeing the toffs get done by the windies
Played until my early forties
Now I have no interest at all
I suppose it fills a hole in the summer and I know loads of city fans follow glammy

Cardiff born Kiran Carlson is having a very good season and scored a run a ball seventy odd this morning, can’t see him getting into the senior England squad at the moment, but he’s a Bazball type player and you’d like to think he’d be seriously considered for any Lions (B team) squad this winter.
I’ve always taken a view you can support who ever you like, if you don’t want to support England Cricket then it doesn’t really matter.
My view has always been that the sport is stronger in Wales by being part of the ECB than not. I mean how many on here are popping along to support Cardiff on their summer weekends.
I’ve supported Wales MC in the past and become an annual member just to put some money into the game that way, I think the structure now supports grass roots in Wales quite well.
We have seen some huge investments into our club which couldn’t have been done without ECB financial support, and I suppose that is a good thing.
Welsh Cricket and Football would collapse like a cheap deckchair if weren’t for the English propping us up.
Don Shepherd Glamorgan bowler was one of the best in his time but was never selected for Englands tests.
I loves a quickly I does !
Yes them two stopped him in the 50s but he was playing right through to the 70s, Fred Titmus and underwood were selected before him.Richie Benaud was among those who believed he would have thrived on the big stage. “Had he been an Australian he would have played for his country many, many times,” he said.
Weather looking worse now tomorrow and esp Sunday. I think it will ruin this test and thus the series
