Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Carl Rackemann, the former Australian Test fast bowler, recorded the best bowling figures of his Sheffield Shield career as Queensland took control against South Australia yesterday. The veteran paceman took 7 for 43 to help dismiss the visitors for 139 in just over one session on the first day of their match at the Gabba. In reply, Queensland were 214 for 2. Rackemann, 34, playing his 16th season for Queensland, became the state's highest wicket-taker in history earlier this month when he passed Jeff Thomson's total of 327.

SHEFFIELD SHIELD (Adelaide; first day of four): South Australia 139 (C G Rackemann 7-43); Queensland 214 for 2 (M L Hayden 80, T J Barsby 76).
