There are suggestions that there should be a handicapping system for the next Ashes series so that England can be competitive. Some of the suggestions include:
- All Australian batsmen have to bat in the opposite way to their normal batting. Eg. Right-handed batmen bat left-handed.
- While England are fielding, the one bounce, one hand rule will apply.
- In a move to particularly target the likes of Andrew Symonds, during Australian innings’ the “six and out” rule will apply.
- Australia will be limited to bowling their ‘real’ bowlers to 20 overs an innings. The rest of the innings will be bowled by either:
- A bowling machine
- The wicket keeper
- The Australian batsmen
- Billy Bowden
- Billy Lawry’s pigeons
- England will start each of their innings with a score of 100.

The only problem with your wonderful suggestions is that I think the poms might still struggle! Then again, perhaps they can cart Bill's pigeons for six!
It must be fun to be an Aussie in England!!!!!
Good idea, but I don't think you've gone far enough, after all:
+ I think we should be fair and allow England 2 hands for two bounces too
+ Since most of Australia's batsmen can bowl, it shouldn't be an issue, even Gilly bowls right-arm fast. Besides, can the poms survive the first 80 overs?
+ Even with the extra 100 runs this time round England would have lost 4-0
