Sports Letters: Name droppers
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.Sir: All followers of Test cricket must be thankful for the expert knowledge, clear explanations and kindness of Brian Johnston - rarely, if ever, does he make harsh judgments of players' failures. He will be remembered for these things long after ceasing to be a commentator. There is one thing about Mr Johnston's style however which, regrettably, some of the others are beginning to adopt; I refer to the tediously compulsive passe use of nicknames. Am I the only listener who is heartily sick of 'Aggers', 'Bearders' and the like?
Yours sincerely,
