Normally the first day of the season will see low scores on slow pitches but the theory is not explainable today in Denmark with high scores in all matches. No we must stick to the other theory that it was a cold day to field with a wet ball, as an explanation.

Esbjerg opened the preceedings on a wet morning after showery rain by posting the unheard of score in April of 297 for 4 in thier 50 overs spearheaded by Jesper Hansen hitting 102 supported by Hamad Zahman with 50 not out. Skanderborg could only answer with 145 where former captain Morten hedegaard topscored with 68. Old workhorse Peer Jensen took 3 for 25 with his standard accurate bowling on today his 41th. birthday. This proves the case that Skanderborg are in for a hard season after losing too many players while Esbjerg are bidding for the top. Hamad Zaman agian proves his worth as a talented young player but he does not want to play for Denmark in any capacity.

In Copenhagen Svanholms new Australien John Keady opened the season by scoring exactly 100 runs, his first century in any grade of cricket. He has before made 99 three times, so to avoid that he made his 100 by smashing a six. Besides Keady Thomas Hansen made 60 not out out of Svanholms 279. Thomas shows he is in form after a winter in Melbourne both with the bat and bal,l as he also took 3 of KB's nine wickets to fall. KB got off to a flyer thanks to Bajit Singh who has returned from England with a Ph.D in pharmacy but when Bajit was caught making 81, KB couldn't keep the scoring rate up and fell 50 runs arrears in the end.

Glostrup got off to a flyer as well by hitting 270 for 8 off their 50 overs against the pakistani club Norrebro. Rasmus Kofoed is enjoying himself after moving to the capital from Aalborg hitting 66, well supported by an inform Martin Jensen  Norrebro's resistance failed when they batted and were all out for 84 where Glostrup's Australien Niel Schnittler tok 3 for 10.
