"Commonwealth Bank one-day international team"

This sort of deal is not what you want to see happen but it will only be used in advertising for the Commonwealth Bank, I would imagine, in the same vein as Hawthorn (an AFL team) has signed a naming rights deal with the Tasmanian government to become the "Tassie Hawks".
Maybe it's just my personal attitude but I would think 95% of people that worked for the national bank, for instance, couldn't give a crap that it is named after a rival company. Work = $$$, very few people would have a personal attachment to the company they work for, especially a blood sucking bank.

Yeah its pretty disgraceful, but lets not forget New Zealand have been called the CLEAR Black Caps for a while now.. Personally I'm waiting for the "Standard Bank MTN Greencaps"

I don't have a problem with a domestic team doing that, but this is the number one team in the world of cricket!
