Streak seeks changes

SYDNEY, JAN. 10. Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak has given plenty of food for thought for the International Cricket Council (ICC). Streak wants the ICC to introduce fresh ideas in One-Day Intenationals (ODIs).

He placed a few points seeking options for skippers and to make ODIs spectator and viewer-friendly. "One-day cricket is a fantastic advertisement for the game, but there is a risk of the game becoming predictable unless a tight finish is involved.''

Streak wants changes in the current fielding restrictions in the first 15 overs of a match, when there are two catchers and only two fielders outside the circle.

Streak's suggestion to the ICC is that it could experiment with an international version of the 20-20 format which made a good impact in England last summer. — Our Special Correspondent
