A hugely significant day, as the RPSG group led by Sanjiv Goenka are confirmed as the preferred investor for the Originals. It was no secret that we were seeking interest from an IPL franchise, so a tie in with those behind Lucknow & Durban Super Giants is an exciting development.

Critics of The Hundred claimed that the money and the interest wouldn’t be there. It looks like they were wrong, after 49% of four franchises have been sold for huge sums. We will find out on Monday if Manchester can find a suitable investor. 🤞that everything goes to plan.

Fixture release day is always an exciting one. The Originals will be back in action throughout August, hoping to improve on a disappointing 2024. Lots to happen before then, but it’s nice to have the dates in the diary.

The #WAshes have been a tough watch for England fans, but they have shown once again what an exceptional batter Beth Mooney is. We have a history of strange decision making, but bringing Beth back to Manchester must be an absolute priority. She is a class act. #AusVEng

This is great news for Lancashire and for English cricket and speaks volumes of the man. To have achieved everything there is to achieve in the game and to still want to play on is fantastic. If he announces for The Hundred draft, then the Originals need to do all they can to keep him in Manchester.

That said, it is a bit rich of those that have ridiculed the competition for not attracting the big names, to criticise the decision. If you want the biggest stars to play, then you have to pay the going rate. That may be an uncomfortable truth, but it doesn’t make it any less true.

A decision had to be made. Do you further reward the women and domestic men who have brought so much to the competition? Or do you chase the international men’s players who may add “star” power? I know what my preference would have been and it isn’t this.

@manchesterogs.bsky.social & any LCCC supporters interested, there's a FB thread started on the Manchester Originals 100 meeting this evening. My view: a very informative night & delighted there is such a "very high level" of interest in our club. facebook.com/groups/19605...

Assuming Jamie is fit to bowl and gets the opportunity, then he could well prove to be one of the signings of the #ipl2025auction for CSK. His ability to bowl a heavy ball throughout the phases is impressive, but it is his ability to consistently hit it out of the park that could make him a star.

Twelve months ago, Phil Salt inexplicably went unsold in the IPL auction. Given a chance he proved the analysts and experts wrong and ended up playing a huge part in KKR’s success. He thoroughly deserves the recognition and big pay day that RCB have offered him.

No surprise that Jos Buttler is in demand, as he secures a big money move to Gujarat Titans in the #ipl2025auction. I have absolutely no idea why Rajasthan didn’t prioritise the retention of a world class player, who has performed exceptionally well for them over many years.

Another former Original steps onto BlueSky! Welcome to one of the finest fast bowlers of his generation and one of the most engaging characters from the comms box. This platform is better for his presence.

Fabulous achievement by a fantastic cricketer. Beth Mooney’s excellence may be understated, but it shouldn’t be ignored.

We enjoy following and supporting anyone who plays or has ever played for the Originals. We look forward to welcoming OG’s past and present to this platform. The fabulous Katie George is the first (we think!) to move across. Welcome Katie! 😀

England go 3 up after a brilliant century from Phil Salt, a terrific cameo from Jos Buttler and now wickets from Jamie Overton. The WBBL continues with Beth Mooney batting beautifully and Sophie Ecclestone taking wickets. We have a new platform, where people seem warm and welcoming. Had worse weeks!

This account, designed by myself and my daughter, provides updates on the Manchester OG’s in The Hundred. I enjoy all forms of cricket, she’s an Originals enthusiast! We engage in cricket chat in a respectful and thoughtful way. If there’s a home here for like minded people we would like to find it.
