Ole Mortensen is undoubtedly the best Danish cricketer to have ever played the game. He was known for his accuracy, discipline and fierce bowling. The Danish fast bowler, who played county cricket for Derbyshire, was one of the best county bowlers. Ole took 434 wickets at an average of 23.88 from 157 First-Class games.

Kim Barnett, his captain, regarded him as “the best bowler to have never played Test cricket”. The tall self-taught cricketer used to bowl a fierce bouncer to the tail enders and was feared by many batsmen.
