Thread Name: BS: Holland or The Netherlands
Subject: RE: BS: Holland or The Netherlands
Ed, there isn't a British cricket team, there is an English and Welsh cricket team which is not the same. I had assumed the possibility that 'England = Britain' was the same as 'Holland = The Netherlands' and that was the main reason for raising the question. By the way, lowlands is another expression for netherlands.
