Greg Chappel vs Bob Woolmer : The coming showdown

Re: Greg Chappel vs Bob Woolmer : The coming showdown

this is what i’m getting at.

the Indian national team is not like an NBA or NFL team with a name like “The Lakers” or “The Patriots”…so what the hell should they be called if not “Team India”.

in every sport where a team does not have a name, they are referred to as “Team ____”. This is most common with national teams, and all you have to do is watch coverage of the Olympics to see virtually every national team in every competing sport be called “Team ____” because none of these national teams have mascot names.

perhaps Atlanta bhai can expand on how using the word “team” requires India to be an amazing, world-beating cricket team.
