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.The fast bowler Makhaya Ntini was yesterday selected to represent Border in a friendly provincial game despite a recent conviction for rape. Ntini, the first black to play for South Africa, was dropped from the national side before this year's World Cup but is out on bail pending an appeal. The president of the Border Cricket Board Robbbie Muzzell said: "It's a very low-key game. Some of our players aren't back from overseas yet so it's more of a practice match."
The 20-year-old Jamaican Ricardo Powell smashed 124 as West Indies defeated India in yesterday's Singapore International Challenge final. Powell, arriving with his team on 67 for 4, flayed the bowling to all parts of the ground hitting nine fours while some of his eight sixes threatened vehicles in the car park and adjoining roads. Powell's first 50 took 44 balls; his second a mere 28.
