Lydia Greenway and Tom Moody were appointed as the Head Coaches of the Oval Invincibles for The Hundred, with Moody's vast experience noted.
Thomas Masson Moody, born on October 2, 1965, in Adelaide, South Australia, displayed early athletic talent at Guildford Grammar School in Perth, where his father served as headmaster. While excelling in various sports, he particularly distinguished himself in cricket, training with the 1st XI side at age thirteen and playing with them the following year. Upon completing school, Moody immediately commenced his first-grade cricket career with the Midland Guildford team in Western Australia.
His professional first-class career began in the 1985/86 season with Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield. Known as “Long Tom Moody” due to his 1.98-meter height, he also played county cricket in England for Warwickshire and Worcestershire. Moody was a prolific batsman, scoring over 20,000 first-class runs and 64 centuries, and was also a competent medium-pace bowler. He led Western Australia and Worcestershire to a number of significant trophies, including captaining Worcestershire from 1995 to 1999 and playing a key role in their 1991 Benson & Hedges Cup and 1994 NatWest Trophy victories.
Moody made his One Day International (ODI) debut for Australia in 1987 and his Test debut in 1989. He participated in three World Cups, including the victorious campaigns in 1987 and 1999, making him one of only two Australians, alongside Steve Waugh, to win two World Cup tournaments. Following his retirement from playing in 2001 due to a back injury, Moody transitioned into coaching and administrative roles, serving as the director of cricket for Worcestershire and later as the head coach for the Sri Lankan national team, guiding them to the final of the 2007 Cricket World Cup. He has also held prominent coaching positions in various T20 franchises globally, including the Indian Premier League’s Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he led the team to an IPL title in 2016.
