The Week in Review
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.DAVID GOWER'S role on the tour of India was restricted to that of a television commentator and more romantically as a symbol that almost sparked a revolution, or at least endangered an MCC vote of confidence in the England selectors. Graham Gooch provided tons of statistics in the run-up to England's first Test in Calcutta - his 100th for his country.
Against India Under-25 he provisionally recorded his 100th first-class century. History, however, will have to wait until 2 February before it can be rubber-stamped by the International Cricket Council which is due to decide whether a century Gooch scored on a rebel tour of South Africa 11 years ago should be recognised.
The International Amateur Athletic Federation countered threats of athletes boycotting the world championships unless they receive prize-money by issuing a threat of its own - boycotters being barred from the Olympics and Grand Prix final. Amid arguments about finance, Liz McColgan pointed out that there is more involved than racing to the bank. Athletes should decide where they run, she said. Managers and agents were there to organise travel and accommodation, not racing progammes.
Teddy Sheringham helped Norwich to narrow their focus to trying to win the Premier League when his two goals for Spurs knocked the Canaries out of the FA Cup.
Didier Auriol managed to overturn a deficit of 2min 17sec and beat fellow Frenchman Francois Delecour by 15sec to win his third successive Monte Carlo Rally.
