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.

STILL TENDULKAR'S batting was truly mindboggling. The thrilling, yet frightening apprehension to any connoisseur is the levels he could take batting to if he played above himself! Even the gods would weep with joy that day!It is inevitable that this match report should be so full of Tendulkar. Today he strode the arena and dominated this match like a colossus. Everything else simply dwarfed into insignificance. The Indian Express waxes lyrical about its country's hero.

Pedestrian fielding and mediocre bowling saw Kenya yesterday help India re-write the one-day international and World Cup record books.

Kenya's Daily Nation proves that one man's meat is another man's poison.

OK. Who left the bowler out of Australia's one-day master plan?

The 10 overs that might have destroyed Australia's tournament hopes cost 79 runs at Headingley on Sunday. They were the overs delivered by Australia's "bit-part" bowlers Steve Waugh, Damien Martyn and Darren Lehmann ... It was a disaster.

The Sydney Morning Herald does not mince its words on another Australian defeat.

Pakistan deserve all the credit for their most stunning win over Australia. It was certainly one of the best and most exciting one-day International match that I have ever seen ... The innings played by plucky Moin Khan was simply brilliant and was most commendable.

Pakistan's The Nation, proving that one man's meat...

England were thoroughly beaten out on the field on Saturday, but one senses the biggest hammering is psychologically [sic]. South Africa have a clear hold over Stewart's team that will be very useful should they meet again in this tournament.

On the couch with South Africa's Natal Witness.
