You'll need more than that, mate.
Shane will be pushing 40 by then & who else have you got?

You are joking of course!
Strategies I've suggested included highly specialised substitute  
fielders who will be on the field at all times; tests played on rock  
hard dust bowl pitches in Wagga Wagga, Kalgoorie, Bourke and anywhere  
else we can find that has a 45degC average midday temperature;  
offering the travelling Poms an outback hotel diet of burned chops,  
pie floaters and mystery bags (sorry mate, the regular chef's got the  
sandy blight!); at least two tests under floodlights in a flood;  
taking the teams off intemittently for harsh light and feral pig  
alerts; abandoning one test due to a native title claim; legislating  
that all visiting international players spend a mandatory two month  
quarantine in a migrant detention centre; introducing Freddy and that  
South African to a couple of Melbourne Pub bouncers...

(Some think that cricket is a matter of life and death or at the very  
least a metaphor for the whole of human endeavour - but we know that  
it's much more serious than that).
