US Cricket lurches towards crisis:
Dainty’s old guard face growing revolution
By Martin Williamson, April 28, 2005
Rumours have been circulating of late in US cricket circles that Gladstone Dainty, the USA Cricket Association's president, is about to start legal proceedings against the ICC. While that might seem far-fetched, Cricinfo has now learnt that Dainty might well be considering going to court over the late payment of a fee due to the board.
The sum of around US$58,000 was a regular payment resulting from the USA's status as an associate member of the ICC. The ICC's relationship with the USACA has been extremely frosty of late, but as the official board, the ICC had an obligation to recognise it and deal with Dainty and his executive. more...
If the sum of $58,000 is a regular payment to the US as an associate member of the ICC, why does this payment not show up in the CCA financial statements and why are we not provided an accounting for:
- Royalties for participation in the 1979 World Cup
- Royalties for participation in the 2003 World Cup. John Davison’s fastest 100 has to be part of any highlight package promoting the 2007 World Cup.
- Hosting the Associates Cup in Toronto in 2001.
