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.This anthology of cricket-themed material is a mixed bag.
Brilliant moments – a droll psalm-chant recitation of the "rules" and an ingenious Pärt-style setting of a pleasingly circular explanation of the game ("Cricket Tea Towel") – show just what these singers can do. Less convincing is their medley of cricket themes, including "Soul Limbo", "Dreadlock Holiday", etc. There's rather a surfeit of this Stilgoe-style drollery, including an adaptation of Delibes (the "Andy Flower Duet"). But the saving grace is a take on Roy Harper's "When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease", with harmony humming replacing the brass band.
