Consequently, media attention for cricket is relatively small, although we are happy that in newspapers, radio and teletext cricket still holds a more prominent place than might be expected from its ranking.
The participation of the Dutch national team in the ICC World Cups in 1996 and 2003 generated a lot of public interest in the Netherlands.

 Dutch clubs in playoff lottery » 7DAYS General and Local News, Dubai, Abu Dhabi UAE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-17)
The Dutch have always been one of Europe’s most liberal, forward-thinking nations, and the introduction of a complex new play-off system to their top flight is a radical, if slightly barmy, step in the evolution of the European game.
The Dutch league has long employed a playoff system to decide two of the three relegation slots, but the introduction of the European playoffs means 14 of the 18 Eredivisie clubs will have something to play for beyond the end of the regular season.
Based on the Dutch system (bear in mind the Eredivisie has fewer European places than the Premiership), Manchester United would be looking at an end-of-season playoff with Arsenal, in which they could lose their Champions League spot to the Gunners despite finishing 22 points ahead of them.
