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.West Indies scrambled to 220 all out against Boland, South Africa's weakest provincial side, on the opening day of their three-day match yesterday. Their opener Stuart Williams made 55 off 68 balls. Philo Wallace, who has had a disappointing tour, batted No 3 and found some consolation with an occasionally brutal contribution of 44. Floyd Reifer (6) ran himself out, Brian Lara (1) chipped a dreadful drive to mid-off and Junior Murray (8) sent an attempted pull to extra cover. Clayton Lambert and Carl Hooper both made 32. The young Boland side, without any international players and bottom of the first-class and one-day domestic leagues, were 18 without loss at the close.
Venkatesh Prasad, the Indian pace bowler, was issued with a warning yesterday after an incident with New Zealand's Craig McMillan in Saturday's limited- overs international in Taupo. Prasad was found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute when he switched ground in his follow through to impede the path of McMillan, who was attempting a quick single.
