An end in sight for the shambles that has been blighting the USA Cricket Association for more than a year, or another false dawn? Cricinfo reveals that finally there will be an Extraordinary General Meeting in Dallas on December 10.

It is unclear how many members of the association will actually attend what could be a lively meeting, assuming that the officers are willing to answer questions from the floor and not fall back behind the legal agreement.

People from across the country have to attend as this could be one of the last chances they have to be heard and make a difference before US cricket, already something of a pariah, is irreparably damaged.
