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.CENTURIES by Western Australia's former Test opener Geoff Marsh and Test newcomer Damien Martyn denied Victoria a win in their Sheffield Shield match which finished as a draw in Melbourne yesterday. Marsh, supplanted in the Australian team when selectors preferred Mark Taylor and David Boon to open against West Indies, hit 101. The 21-year- old Martyn was unbeaten on 116 as Western Australia batted out the day to score 337 for 3 after trailing by 140 on the first innings. Victoria, who scored 352 in reply to Western Australia's first innings of 212, took two first-innings points.
SHEFFIELD SHIELD (Melbourne, final day of four): Western Australia 212 and 337 for 3 (D R Martyn 116no, G R Marsh 101); Victoria 352. Match drawn.
