It was late in the afternoon on the fifth day of the second Test at Newlands when a beautiful thing happened in the stand next to the Oaks Enclosure where the majority of the Barmy Army was watching England close in on a memorable victory against South Africa.
As the action continued, one of the soft drinks hawkers, an old man who had spent the game walking up and down the aisles of this part of the ground in the searing heat of the Cape Town afternoons with his satchel of Cokes and Sprites slung over his shoulder, started to say his goodbyes to the England fans with whom he had built a rapport.
He knew some of them by name. He went up and down the rows of seats, shaking hands and bidding them a safe journey home and telling them he would see them the next time. And then the Barmy Army rose as one and began applauding him. And the applause rose until there was a standing ovation and the old man was overcome with emotion as he left.
