News: Denmark beat weakened Bermuda…

Actually….. its not Bermuda….. its essentially Bermuda A…….. most of their big players from the world cup were missing, but Kevin O Brien was there, who being their best bowler was still left out from the World Cup squad due to disciplinary issues……
If you think of it as Bermuda A, then Denmark did not do [...]

News: Denmark and Namibia get HPP spots…..

Both Denmark and Namibia have been added to the High Performance Program by the ICC. 2 more teams will be added, but they will NOT be from Asia, and will be chosen from the WCQS Div 5 next year. It seems at the momment that Uganda and PNG might be the forerunners to get those [...]

News: Denmark’s Amjad Khan qualifies for England

It seems that associates are stuck in some kind of a time warp and there is no way out of it…. except for luck.
Denmark’s Amjad Khan, who while playing for Denmark was half their batting and bowling, has just qualified for England on the 4 year residence grounds, and is tipped to be good enough [...]

Opinion: Denmark were impressive….

Perhaps Ireland’s gland slam of European tournaments, and Greece’s goof up managed to overshadow one thing…… Denmark were very competitive in the Euro Division 1……. they lost to both Scotland and Netherlands on the last ball of the match, while the Scotland game was one where they fought back from nowhere to get into that [...]

News: Scotland beat Denmark by 3 runs

Denmark needed 4 off the last ball with Zishan Shah facing, but it ended up being a dot ball……. However, the Danes fought very well in this game, and they need to think about why Thomas Hansen was not playing…….. The scottish team however has perhaps found their permanent opener in Watts, who scored 171* [...]

News: Scotland beat Netherlands on 2nd last ball….

But it was a 20/20 match, so I would not read too much into it….I think the game was inconclusive, although, it asks the questions about what is happenning…… Scotland beat 3 counties in C&G Trophy, Ireland only 1. Ireland have now beaten Scotland, and Scotland and Netherlands seem to be at par with each [...]

News: Ireland beat Denmark, Netherlands beat Italy…

I am not surprised at either result, but I am surprised at the pathetic manner in which the losing sides played.
First, Netherlands beat Italy…… expected…… by 140 runs…… not expected……
Netherlands made 317 runs, and Italy could muster only 177 in reply, out of which 51 were extras. Something for the Netherlands to think about, because [...]

Opinion: A historical quirk on Denmark cricket…

In the 1979 ICC Trophy, which was going to give a berth to the 2 finalists for the 1979 World Cup, Denmark was the only team to achieve 16 points, 4 out of 4 wins in their group. Their group also contained Canada, who they beat very easily by 46 runs. The ICC Trophy format [...]

News: Denmark loses to Gloucestershire 2nd XIs in 2 games

Gloucestershire 2nds have beaten Denmark quite comfortably in the 2 games that both teams used as warm ups. Denmark used them for the warm ups for the Euro championships and Goucestershire used them for the 20 20 championship. At least in the first match Gloucestershire fielded a strong enough team with 5 players from the first [...]

Euro championships U17/U23 Day 3 Round up

Strangely, the U17 and U23 tournaments have the same standings at the conclusion. Ireland wins both, Netherlands runners up in both, Denmark without a win in both, and pretty much were never in any one of the games. The status quo is a little bit different from previous years, when Netherlands always used to have [...]
