HH124 12:54, 23 February 2010 (UTC)==results table consistency== Is there a reason that the table starts by saying "England", and ends with "Great Britain"? I am fully aware this might be correct, but it seems more likely that it's a goof. Did the team actually change? I am aware that it's the terminology used here, but did they goof? --Storkk 10:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea and wondered about that myself. In this, they say "England repeated the feat in 1969 in Australia. And in 1974, now designated Great Britain, they would win...". I assume that there is a story behind all of this and the change in names in the table is deliberate. -- I@n 11:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The table is correct. The team was "England" until 1974 when the team selection included the Scots player Martin Murray and the Welsh player William Prichard.

And now the team is England again, as the Home Nations compete separately. England in the Mac, Scotland, Wales and Ireland in the emerging nations team competition.MidlandLinda (talk) 15:32, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
