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.

REVIEWING THE section of English schools cricket in the 1999 Wisden, Stephen Brenkley assumes when he states "the establishments are the same as they have always been" that none of them are comprehensives. South Craven School, an 11 to 18 mixed comprehensive, first had cricket averages included in the 1994 edition of Wisden and can be found again this year.

State school cricket is very much alive in both the inner city and the shires and we value the support and encouragement given by the MCC, Wisden and others.
