Letter: BBC's unsporting cricket coverage
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: If we are to have a successful cricket team again, can Michael Atherton plese have a word with the anti-cricket brigade at the BBC. Not wanting to miss the spectacle of our brave boys finally putting the Aussies to the sword, I battled through hours of late-night mediocrity until the historic pictures finally arrived on my screen at 12.10am.
Once every seven years I can manage this, but if we are on the point of a cricketing revival the BBC must play its part in promoting our noble game and delivering the nation to work on time the next day.
Alternatively, bring back Ted Dexter and we can all have a good night's sleep again.
Yours faithfully,
