Head and shoulders above: Why Trav is the key to Australia's T20 World Cup success

Here’s an idea for the marketing minds behind Twenty20 cricket: randomly select two members of the crowd to field and bowl for each team during international matches.
As the crowd files in for the game, they could put their name forward to be chosen to take part in the match. Thirty minutes before the game gets underway, the two names are announced over the loudspeaker, and the crowd members are taken to the dressing rooms where they meet the players, change into uniforms (one playing for the home team, one for the visiting team), and then take the field.
Each player fields for their side throughout the innings and bowls an over or two. I would suggest that they bat too, but there could be significant liability issues if one of them gets cracked on the head with an errant Brett Lee bouncer.
The whole idea is to play on the party atmosphere of Twenty20, give the crowd a couple of players they can really identify with, and make a few dreams come true along the way.
