An article on Duch cricket was mentioned in the Times of India newspaper around the time of the Ind-Pak-Aus series held in Netherlands. I cannot remember the date though. I do remember the the fact that it was the 25th most popular sport there. User:Nichalp/sg July 4, 2005 12:22 (UTC)

In terms of what, though? Players, one would assume? Sam Vimes 4 July 2005 12:25 (UTC)

I think so. I saw the "25th most popular" comment myself while I was writing this article last night, but can't for the life of me remember where it was. Loganberry (Talk) 4 July 2005 12:34 (UTC)

[edit] "Holland"

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. Loganberry (Talk) 8 July 2005 18:46 (UTC)

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.

Where are those new shirts? As late as in June they played with "Holland" [2]. Sam Vimes | Address me 20:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

They do have The Netherlands on now. [3], as of August.Andrew nixon 20:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

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)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:KNCB.png

Image:KNCB.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
