The ECB should commission cyberneticist Professor Kevin Warwick to build a team of super cricketers, part-human, part-machine, the artificial part endowed with IBM's Deep Blue-eque computer brute power of knowledge and techniques of best batting bowling & fielding from all England vs Australia encounters, with the rules of cricket.

Am I displaying prescience here, okay madness but I believe such a team, with great mental strength could win the 2009 Ashes and hold on to them two years later.

My only problem would be when this super-cricketers team plays my other favourite - Pakistan. In that case drugs should be allowed, to suppress the former and enhance the latter, only fair

Fix GPS thingies on every English bowler's head !!!

No.

The way forward is to FORGET ABOUT THE ASHES because they're about two years away.

Concentrate on winning everything from now until then.

Theres much more series in Cricket than just the Ashes. FFS.

However, Cricket Australia of 2029 would send an attractive naked female nurse back in time, to seduce Shane Warne and secretly give him futuristic drugs that cause him to age in reverse, whilst whispering in his ear that he could make a comeback. Warnie would then play and vanquish the cybernetic Poms, preventing their subsequent global domination and extermination of the human race.

What? The Paksters aren't allowed drugs now?

T2's one of my favs (2001 and Blade Runner are others). Have you seen Apocalypto Stonewaller? I saw it earlier this evening, it's a Mel Gibson experience, one I'd recommend.

I see you've been taking those SOH tablets again.

The Warne, McGrath, and Bradman clones should fare well against anything any of the other teams can put up.

Settle the *cough* Bradometer's utility once and for all as well.

What's a Bradometer then?
