It is strange. Cricket came to NL before football so I'm guessing that has something to do with it. For some reason, unlike Italy and other European countries, it stuck here.
Quite a few teams in The Hague, but parts of it are some of the poshest areas in The Netherlands.
Some seriously tricky wickets there with the wind mind!
Massively. It's either played by people with commonwealth roots or upper-class people.
The level of competition here is actually quite high, with all the teams in the Topklasse having overseas players in their teams. For example, the team I play for usually have around 1/2 South Africans and...
Sunday's win over South Africa is massive for Dutch cricket. Automatic qualification for the world cup in 2024 and of course, the fact it was South Africa.
