Bonus points 'should go'

"In Australia we have two points for the first innings and six for a win - no bonus points," Lehmann told BBC Radio Five Live.

"You want to see a result one way or the other each game and I think that's what the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) have really got to look at in the future, get rid of the bonus points and go to a two point, six points system where the spectators that come along are going to see a result every game."

Somerset chief executive Peter Anderson and Leicestershire wicket-keeper Neil Burns backed Lehmann's call for more positive cricket.
