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.

Cricket

Grahame Clinton, the Surrey coach, yesterday parted company with the county by mutual consent. The 42-year-old, who joined the Surrey playing staff in 1979 after five years with Kent, took over the Second XI coaching two years after his retirement as a player.

In 1992, his first season in charge, he masterminded their double of the Rapid line Second XI Championship and Bain Clarkson Trophy. He took over first-team affairs after the departure of Geoff Arnold at the end of the following year.

But two subsequent seasons of unfulfilled promise under Clinton and a certain amount of dissatisfaction at the way the club is being run left members angry and frustrated and, at a special general meeting last month, the new chairman, Mike Soper, promised heads would roll.

Terry Alderman, the former Australian pace bowler, who was, until recently, coach of Western Australia, is being linked with the post alongside the former Surrey stalwart, Intikhab Alam, and another Australian, Dave Gilbert.
