There is a professional 100-ball cricket team called Manchester Originals. The group represents the illustrious county of Lancashire in the recently founded The Hundred event. The franchise's inaugural season could have gone better, as they only managed two victories in their eight games and placed sixth. They came close to winning the championship but returned to finish in second place in the second season. They were among the league's best bowling teams.
