The International Cricket Council will change the rules of the "super over" which saw England beat New Zealand in the World Cup final in July. The tie-breaker regulations - which had only occurred 11 times in international history and never before in a one-day international, let alone a world cup final - drew some criticism. Now "super overs" will be repeated until one side has more runs. RNZ Sport's Editor Stephen Hewson discusses the permutations with Gyles Beckford.
