Talk:Netherlands national cricket team

message: Fnorp, I've reverted your addition of the word "incorrect", but feel that this deserves an explanation. A similar situation exists with the English cricket team - it actually represents England and Wales, yet the team is always known as simply "England" and this is the name on the one-day cricket shirts. There's also the West Indian cricket team, which includes players from Guyana as well as the former West Indies Federation.
Thus, although it is indeed incorrect to refer to the nation of the Netherlands as "Holland", I think it can reasonably said that referring to the team as such is in itself acceptable. The consensus in WikiProject Cricket is generally to refer to the team as "Netherlands" (as you can see in the "National cricket teams" box at the bottom of the article), but while the Dutch team continues itself to use the word "Holland", I tend to feel that the word "incorrect" is too strong in this specific case.

I removed the 'Holland' reference, especially as the new Netherlands shirts now say 'Netherlands', which would leave the remark that 'the Netherlands' is sometimes called 'Holland', which in it self would be true, but would be really annoying if you'd put it in everytime the Netherlands were to be mentioned in an article.

replies: text: My apologies. I'll agree that there's no need to have it so prominent right now, so I've reverted it; I do think that there's a need to treat it somewhere in the article, because the team is often known in English-speaking countries and thus in cricketing realms as Holland, and because of the World Cup the last time, I think it's more relevant here than in, say, Netherlands national football team. But in the lead is too much. Sam Vimes | Address me 20:39, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Now that a "Netherlands" team competes in a UK domestic league (Clydesdale Bank 40 (CB40)), we need to either include a section in this entry -- although I can see it isn't technically "national" -- or provide a link to something covering the NL CB40 team ...

message: Is it worth including a section with that^ title?
Under "Tournament History" "ICC World Cup", then > "World Cricket League", the main article here says there is no page for "2011–13 ICC World Cricket League Championship". But there is one - at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E2%80%9313_ICC_World_Cricket_League_Championship ... And it is important to note there, that the Netherlands were by no means disgraced: e.g. they were only one point behind Afghanistan. However, the 'decision-process' whereby the Netherlands got demoted to Division 2 was, sadly, based on their 7th position in the "2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier" ... So if the Netherlands can finish first or second in the next Division 2 playoffs, then perhaps the authorities will again schedule eight teams for another "2015–17[?] ICC World Cricket League" - if they can perhaps be reminded about the 2011-13 results.... Hopefully, they will also take other (recent and future) matches into account; e.g. the Netherlands' recent win against Scotland? --DLMcN (talk) 11:22, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
