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.Allan Border, the former Australian captain, hit an undefeated 151 for Queensland in their Sheffield Shield match against South Australia yesterday. Border, who retired from Test cricket in May, said: 'There's no question that when the games against England start I will be wishing I was out there. To me, Ashes cricket is what it's all about. When you start making runs you think maybe you should have played another year or so.'
India is to host a six-nation tournament in Bombay next March for players over 35. The World Masters Cup, whose chairman is Clive Lloyd, will comprise teams from Australia, England, India, Sri Lanka, West Indies and South Africa.
SHEFFIELD SHIELD (Brisbane; second day of four): South Australia 139 and 89 for 2; Queensland 488 for 6 dec (A Border 151no, M Love 87, M Hayden 80, T Barsby 76).
