Letter: Try Cooke's recipe
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.Sir: When Ted Dexter decides to take the honourable way out and fall on his ceremonial three-wood, who will replace him? Having taken control of the England rugby union team in 1987, Geoff Cooke transformed mediocrity into magnificence. As manager of the British Lions he put English favouritism to the back of his selectorial mind and dropped Will Carling from captaincy consideration and ultimately Test duty. He has the skill, backbone and ruthlessness to turn 11 English rabbits into roaring Lions, and with a team of cricket experts beside him (G Boycott, R Illingworth, B Willis and I Botham), maybe in the future we'll see an England cricket team win back the Ashes.
Yours sincerely,
