Great Britain national cricket team

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, per WP:NOTCRYSTAL. There is no "Great Britain national cricket team", there never has been a "Great Britain national cricket team", and the article is just speculation.

The logo included in the article is File:England and Wales Cricket Board.svg, which unsurprisingly belongs to the England and Wales Cricket Board, not to this imaginary team. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:23, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I had PROD'd it, but BHG beat me to it. :) I'll just use my rationale from the PROD: As per WT:CRIC: There is no such thing as the Great Britain national cricket team. There is the England national cricket team, and the Scottish national cricket team . There is no cricket team called the British Lions, it is the England Lions cricket team. There is already an article that discusses cricket in England. Even as a redirect it would be a misrepresentation. SGGH ^ping! 16:32, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
