What is the urgency now for the predictions of India and Australia series?

Still we\'ve got a Test Match with West Indies and after that a 5 match ODI series is there. For Australia too, they\'re having a whole series in between. Let\'s wait for this series to be over yaar!

India\'s batting is looking good as always. But it\'s the bowling which is making us worry a lot. It doesn\'t look strong enough to take 20 Australian wickets. If Varun Aaron and Praveen Kumar hadn\'t got injured and made to the team, our bowling unit would\'ve been much formidable.

Australian wickets will suit best to Ishant Sharma and Varun Aaron as they both are \"hit the deck\" type of bowlers. Praveen Kumar is a street smart bowler who can utilize the conditions very well. Hence we\'ll be missing both of them.

Ishant Sharma\'s fitness is worrying a bit. Zaheer is returning from the injury and yet to get his rythm back. So our pace bowling unit is left with Umesh Yadav, Vinay Kumar, Mithun and Dinda. Umesh Yadav is good. But others are lightning fast bowlers who can bowl at 160 kph. Australian under 16 bowlers will be much better than them.

Ashwin and Ojha are good bowlers, but will find hard to take wickets in Australian conditions. We can have little hope on Ashwin as he has got height to extract bounce and also he\'s a smart bowler who\'ll out-think the batsmen.

So my choice of 4 bowlers in the playing eleven will be Zaheer, Ishant, Umesh and Ashwin, provided Zaheer and Ishant are fit enough.

Post by: chkasarma on December 24, 2011, 04:35:05 AM
I assume, traditionally, Adelaide and Sydney grounds favour spinners a bit. The weather may play a role on first day in MCG with (forecasted ) early morning showers then,  toss will play a key role as well.It will be interesting to see how Indian bowlers will trade off on green surface.I reckon, the 3rd or/and 4th day may favour spinners in MCG

Hope India will win...:thumbup:
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on December 24, 2011, 10:52:30 AM
Yes, Sydney ground favors spinners a bit even though not fully. But Adelaide will support to very little. Other two grounds won\'t support even a bit.

Anil Kumble was the only Indian spinner of recent times who had enjoyed success in Australia. Hence we\'ll be missing him. Harbhajan Singh was a complete failure in Australia even when he was at his peak. In fact, he didn\'t thrive on any of the overseas trips. He succeeded only in Indian wickets. But he took few wickets in South Africa last time, which is a very rare thing for him.

Let\'s hope Ashwin and Ojha gets success there.
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: chkasarma on December 24, 2011, 11:13:15 AM
Yeah! Kumble is a gem both with his attitude and play.I would say Ashwin should be in final XI, I think, he could use the bounce for his favour and he looks more tactical in his approach.Last Saturday I went to BigBash (Melb Stars vs Sydney Thunders), got to see the beauty of the pitch with bounce and extra pace. I guess Umesh will thrive on this pitch. I would say win the toss and chose fielding
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on December 24, 2011, 11:19:20 AM
Yes you are right. Ashwin has got the height to extract bounce from the wickets and also he\'s a smart cricketer. Umesh will get success here and so as with Ishant. Varun Aaron would\'ve become a major success if he had made to the team.

Oh! Rohit is out (probably) it\'s hard to chose between Rohit and Virat though.

Here is OZ final XI

Australia-1 David Warner, 2 Ed Cowan, 3 Shaun Marsh, 4 Ricky Ponting, 5 Michael Clarke (capt), 6 Michael Hussey, 7 Brad Haddin (wk), 8 Peter Siddle, 9 James Pattinson, 10 Nathan Lyon, 11 Ben Hilfenhaus.

Looking pretty strong though, the first three have been in form (NZ series & BigBash), the next three are experienced, 8 and 9 are local to MCG, lots of expectations on 10 as a spinner and was a former grounds man in Adelaide oval, 11 is , I guess, a swinger could go for longer spells and the only weak link, I feel,  is 7
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on December 24, 2011, 12:19:53 PM
@chkasarma,

You are right! It\'s really hard to choose between Rohit and Kohli. Rohit is technically very strong and often been referred as next Tendulkar. Kohli is a consistent performer who\'s mentally strong too. I would choose Rohit over Kohli as he\'s technically very strong and can play cross batted shots very well. In Australia, since the pitches offer more bounce, cross batted shots like pulls and hooks will be much needful. Let\'s see what the Indian think tank decides.

Regarding Australia, they\'re looking very good indeed. Since Philip Hughes is not there, the weak link in the opening is missing. Cowan has played well against our bowlers in the practice game. Hence if their opening batsmen come good, they\'ll be very hard nuts to crack. But since they lack experience, we should hope to exploit that. But will our bowlers????!!!!

We should win the toss and put them to bat first so that we can utilize the conditions a bit and take 3 - 4 wickets in the first 30 overs. If we happen to do that regularly and unsettle Ponting, Hussey and Clarke, we can look forward to win.

@chkasarma,

I\'m not a great astrologer. I\'m just a basic level learner. Let\'s expect predictions from someone like Virinchi, Mr.Seetaram or SasiRekha. This is gonna be a challenge for them as well, as this is an overseas series. Hope they\'ll come up with good predictions this time.

moon is in 8th house to india\'s lagna but its on venus constellation when match stars and venus in 9th house.
so 1st session can be in favor of india but after lunch session would be somewhat tough.

we\'ve always lost at MCG and GABBA.
lets see....

Post by: gauranggroups on December 26, 2011, 02:59:30 AM
Mr.Seetaram used to ask me to try predicting for cricket matches. I\'m still a learner and hence didn\'t try predicting. I\'m giving a try here. Seniors should correct me.

India is having a good period in terms of Anthra - Sookshma - PratiAnthra and Australia is having a bad period now. But transits are not favoring that much to India. Even Australia doesn\'t have good transit. It\'ll be a tough match only. But still Australia is having good time in major part of the final day.

People like Virinchi or Mr.Seetaram only should tell which way it would go. I\'ll try to tell the favorable and unfavorable timings and not predicting any end result.
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on December 26, 2011, 03:03:02 AM
Toss - Time is favoring India and hence India should win the Toss.

Post by: gauranggroups on December 26, 2011, 03:23:23 AM
Even though I\'ve mentioned above that Mars & Rahu as neutral, I think they should favor India more than Australia as Mars is in Venus\' star and Mercury sub and Rahu is in Mercury star and Venus sub. Am I right, Mr.Seetaram?
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: chkasarma on December 26, 2011, 05:00:44 AM
WOW! very detailed analysis. Oz won the toss and elected to bat, very interesting decision by Clarkie.If the out field is damp and slippery, hard for India.It may be equally hard for OZ if the pitch behaves unexpectedly due to last night\'s thunder storm,  as it had happened in NZ vs OZ in Hobart....Good luck to India:cool:
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on December 26, 2011, 09:58:25 AM
Australians are going very strong. They are scoring runs freely at will. Going by the way, they can easily end up the day with a score of around 320, which is not good for India. Our guys have brought Ponting back to form with their wayward bowling. Also our guys have given life to the young Cowan. Both have crossed 50.

Let\'s see where will it go from here. It\'s Australia\'s day all the way after those first two wickets.
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on December 26, 2011, 09:01:47 PM
Prof. KSK\'s principle proved right again. Even though Mars is in the constellation of Venus, it didn\'t give a positive result to India as it\'s in mercury sub. But Rahu has given some positives to India as it\'s in Venus sub.

So we can expect some positives during all the Rahu subs of this match.

Guys,

So Australia has finished the day with 277/6 which is a very good score considering the pitch conditions and their recent form and performances. First day turned out to be lucky for them.

The second day should be a lucky one for India. Hopefully, we\'ll be able to wrap up the Australian innings within the first hour or so. Then, if we bat well and post a big score, it\'ll help us. If Sehwag gets going, it\'ll be a huge plus for India as he can score runs quickly. Also Sachin should score. He should get the monkey (100th Ton) off his back first, which will help India in the series.

If the match ends within the 4th day itself, it\'ll help us as the day favors us. Let\'s see what\'s there in store. Hope to get more insight from the experienced astrologers here.

Wow! Gaurang,

You are right on the money. Hope India will do well tomorrow (Your analysis- A neutral day)
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on December 27, 2011, 10:05:15 PM
Yes, Tomorrow is a neutral day only but at the end of the day Indians will be happy. Because the muhurtha favors India, even though the transit is neutral.

India will have good time from 7.06 am to 10.46 am. After 10.46 am, the time will favor Australia more.

India\'s most vulnerable times of the day will be 5.58 - 6.10 am and 10.46 - 11.12 am.
Apart from that, India should be careful for the first 2 - 3 mins, 5.14 - 5.24 am, 6.23 - 6.35 am, 6.54 - 6.59 am, 7.39 - 8.08 am, 8.43 - 9.14 am, 10.04 - 10.15 am & 11.43 - 12.11 am.

Hope India will do well. Let\'s see what happens.

Guys,

What\'s this? Just now got up and saw the score. We\'ve lost all our wickets within the 1st session itself.. 214/3 to 282/10.. I expected a favorable 1st session for Australia. But I haven\'t expected this much!

Match has started drifting out of our hands. Let\'s see what our bowlers are doing in our positive time..
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: chkasarma on December 28, 2011, 01:11:40 PM
Well, as you predicted, it\'s a kind of neutral day today.But your 4th and 5th predictions are not promising for India.It will be interesting to see tomorrow\'s match, it may even finish by the end of the day as well.
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: maharam1956 on December 28, 2011, 06:11:53 PM
As per reports it is very difficult to chase above 250 target though Sehwag claimed that under 300 is chaseable. When our bowlers are effective then Australian bowlers will be more deadly. If India wins it is only a miracle. Let us hope for the best.
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: JayTee on December 28, 2011, 07:02:03 PM
tomorrow australia shud be wrapped up in 15-20 mins.
during chase, indian batsmen like laxman, dravid, dhoni have good chance to play better knock than 1st innings.
sehwag and gambhir need to survive till lunch atleast.

sachin will not score 100 in 2011 but can contribute atleast 50 if he shows patience

after lunch, moon\'s transit will be on rahu\'s constellation and since rahu is conjunct mercury, its tough for indians to survive entire 4th day

Gaurangji as per your detailed analysis first one and half hour will be in favour of Australia. Between Lunch and Tea India may be in an advantageous position. Between tea and stumps Aus will gain upper hand and finish it of in their favour
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on December 29, 2011, 12:03:32 AM
Maharamji,

Transit is not favoring India much. It\'ll be tough for them to survive the entire 4th day as JayTee mentioned above. Rahu sub (6.23 - 10.09 am) should be better for India than Australia. But surviving the 3rd session, i.e. after 10.09 am, is a very tough task for India. That time is favorable to Australia.

But the Muhurtha for both the start and time of tomorrow\'s play is favoring India. Hence there\'s a hope for India. Probably some special innings from any of our batsmen can save us. But I dunno what will happen eventually. I\'m not Virinchi to accurately predict the outcome with time.

If they can survive the entire 4th day with batsmen in hand and if only the remaining target is achievable within 1 hour\'s play on 5th day, we can hope for an India\'s win. Otherwise, there\'s no hope. Because the real positive time for India\'s victory will be the last 1 hr of the 5th day. But the game won\'t last till then. Hence the above said time is the only option as the target will also be less. But will our batsmen can fulfill these \"ifs\"?

Post by: gauranggroups on December 31, 2011, 03:44:23 PM
@chkasarma,

It\'s not in the pitch. It\'s the time which should favor us.

Also this is a misconception that Indian Batsmen can\'t score runs on bouncy / green top pitches. In fact all the team batsmen will feel very difficult to score in those conditions. In fact, we are much better than the other Asian teams. The fact is that we don\'t have express fast bowlers who can utilize those conditions, whereas the opponent team bowlers are doing that.

If our bowlers perform little better on some occasions, we\'ll win those matches. In our last South African tour, we won the game in Durban which was a green top. No batsmen from South Africa crossed 35 in either innings whereas Laxman scored 40 & almost a century (96). In our last Australian series, we won a game in Perth which was a green top again and lost in Sydney which wasn\'t a green top. But in fact they cheated us for that victory and that\'s a different thing altogether.

Even in the last match, it was our bowlers who let us down more than the batsmen. In the first day, we didn\'t bowl well. Our bowlers were not in rythm, especially Zaheer Khan. He got his rythm only towards the end of the day. If we have bowled properly, we could\'ve wrapped the Australian innings for around 160 - 170, whereas we allowed them to score 338. The best example in the 2nd Innings, where we restricted them to 169/8. When the pitch was fresh in the 1st innings, we could\'ve done much better. In the second innings too, they were 24/4. We allowed them to score and we brought them to 169/8. From 169/8, we left them to score 240. If we didn\'t allow these things, we might be in a position to chase down only 50 - 60 in the 2nd innings, we could\'ve done it.

Let\'s see what time has in store for us. Whatever the pitch may be, if planetary position favors us, we can hope for a win. Let\'s hope for that.

Post by: gauranggroups on January 02, 2012, 12:16:43 AM
Guys,

When I tried looking at the transits for this match, it\'s also looking very close. No team can be termed as a clear favorite. Also the Muhurtha Chart is pretty close. Only 3 subs are repeating for all the 5 days in almost similar manner. Rahu, Jupiter and Saturn. Rahu is neutral, Jupiter will favor Australia and Saturn will favor India.

Days 1 & 4 are favorable to India and Day 3 is favorable to Australia. 2nd Day should also favor India a bit more than Australia. 5th day is a neutral day. So if India can utilize their good periods properly, India have got a better chance of winning this game.

I wish this game should end in the end of the 4th day so that India can win easily. Let\'s see what happens.

Day 1:

This should be a favorable day for India as Moon is transiting in the constellation of Kethu.
India have better chance of winning the Toss, I expect so. Let\'s see.

05.00 - 05.47 am - Neutral.
05.47 - 09.24 am - Favorable to Australia.
09.24 - Day\'s End - Favorable to India.

moon\'s sub may decide wickets fall etc but star decides the basic/overall result for the day.
day 1, ketu\'s star(okay for india)
day 2, venus\'s star(good for india)
day 3, sun\'s star(bad/moderate as sun in 8th H)
day 4, moon\'s star(moderate as moon conjunct ketu will cause some hiccup)
day 5, mars\'s star(mars in 4th H is good)

in 1st test, day 3 was good for us when moon was on mars\'s star.
day 4 was bad as it was rahu\'s star and even jupiter\'s star is bad now.

tomorrow india has chance to win toss and bat 1st

Wow! sounds like this time stars are looking better than last time. Thanks to Nivedita and Gaurav. Hope we will win this match.

@ Gaurav...Good points.Well, the hype before  the starting of the Boxing day match, both by media and statics was, we have better batting line up (Perhaps one of the best in the world with two highest run scorers ) and poor bowling attack than the opponents. So obviously expectations/hopes were more on batting. In the first innings, when a night watch man was in the crease 4 specialist batsmen (in that 3 are veterans) had gone to pavilion. Moreover their tail enders performed better than most of our specialists, well, there could be many reason though, old ball, new ball and wind direction, if any  blah..blah...blah. Yeah, Bowlers, in that two are rookies, could have performed better than what they did but with this experienced batting line up, obviously we expect more. (Our media often calls them paper Lions when they fail)

About bouncy pitches, the native teams always have upper hand over visitors as we do well in our Indian flat pitches.It\'s hard to believe Indians don\'t have any problem with bouncy pitches. As a batting unit we have more failures than success on bouncy patches as per statistics. (If I am correct, the only time we won in MCG is in 1980\'s since 1920\'s )

The WACA pitch is no more as bouncy as it used to be. MCG pitch us used to start deteriorate on 3rd day and continue 4rd and 5thday but this time it has acted slightly different it seems.


Well, what I understand  from our traditional belief is the favourable time comes only when there is a coordination among Prabdha Karma, Kamyaka Karma ( Purusha Prayatnam/Free will ) and God\'s will  or only by God\'s will.

Hope our guys do better this time as we won the toss as predicted by Nivedita

(Oh no! Gambhir is out for a 3rd ball and Dravid is out Doh!)

Cheers

Mercury is in conjunction with Rahu till today. From tomorrow, the 1st session will start becoming slightly better than today for India. But all the day\'s second subs clearly belong to Australia. Similarly the 3rd subs will favor India.

Going by the way, I dunno whether India can hold up till 9.24 am to utilize our favorable sub. We\'ve lost 4 main wickets till now.

India should play carefully from 8.10 to 8.20 am approx.. Otherwise we may lose 1 more wicket which will dent even the little bit of chance of coming in to this game..
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on January 03, 2012, 08:19:52 AM
As I expected, we\'ve lost Kohli exactly at 8.11 am.. What\'s this? We\'ve lost all our main wickets before our favorable time starts.
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on January 03, 2012, 08:40:51 AM
India should be careful again from 8.50 to 9.25 am, 10.03 to 10.12 am and 11.38 - 11.52 am (1 wicket for sure).. After that, if the match continues after 12.27, we should be careful then too.

Also I expect a 100 from Sachin either today or day after tomorrow. If he gets support from his partners, we can expect him to score today itself. If God willing, it\'ll happen. Let\'s see what happens.
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on January 03, 2012, 08:58:19 AM
:(:( I dunno in what time I\'ve said that Sachin can get a 100 today if he gets support from his partners, he himself is gone now. Definitely he\'s unlucky. He hasn\'t edged even a single ball before to this one and he was very comfortable in all his shots and defenses. But this one has taken a thick inside edge and went in to the stumps.

We\'ve lost all our top 6 batsmen before our good time starts. How can we score runs hereafter.

If the same continues, India can\'t win this match as well as this series. If Laxman & Gambhir are not performing in this 2nd innings too, I think they should be replaced for the next match.

Post by: gauranggroups on January 03, 2012, 03:31:56 PM
It\'s the end of 1st day\'s play. Australia have scored 116/3 in reply to India\'s 1st Innings total of 191. Practically speaking, it\'s gonna be very tough for India to get back in to this game from here. Only some special spells of bowling tomorrow and a good batting performance after that can save India.

If India can get all the Australian wickets cheaply for around 200 - 220, we still have chance. The pitch will assist bowlers only for the first 45 mins. After that, it\'ll be a good flat batting track. So Zaheer & co shouldn\'t come lethargic as always. They should attack right from the first ball. If they\'re able to take 3 wickets at least in the first 45 mins or so, we\'ll be in the game.

Let\'s hope our bowlers will try to do that at least.

Post by: gauranggroups on January 03, 2012, 03:47:27 PM
Day 2:

Astrologically, tomorrow Moon is transiting in the constellation of Venus. It\'s not gonna be a great day for India. But right from the beginning of this series, the constellation and even Subs don\'t matter much. It\'s only Sub-subs that are giving results as wickets are being taken on regularly. Hence let\'s see the positive time for us.

05.00 - 05.47 am - Favorable to India. Should be able to take 2 - 3 wickets.
05.47 - 07.42 am - We can\'t expect much. Australia will be scoring runs.
07.42 - 08.17 am - Favorable to India. Should be able to take 1 - 2 wickets.
08.17 - 08.47 am - Slightly Favorable. Can expect a wicket.
08.47 - 09.00 am - Favorable to India. Should be able to take 1 - 2 wickets.
09.00 - 10.17 am - We can\'t expect much.
10.17 - 10.49 am - Not Favorable to Australia. Can expect a wicket.
10.49 - 11.30 am - Favorable to India. Should be able to take 1 - 2 wickets.

So we can expect to wrap up the Australian Innings before 11.30 am, if possible before 10.45 itself. Let\'s see.

If we are able to do that and bat again, 11.30 - 12.06 is not a favorable time for us. We may lose a wicket or so.

Post by: chkasarma on January 03, 2012, 04:46:07 PM
Wow Gaurang,

Thanks for a great analysis. I would say we should able to wrap them up  Max by lunch break means around 7am IST, otherwise it will be very hard for us either win or try to draw the match. (I really don\'t think there will be any chance for a draw )

Fingers Crossed...:thumbup:
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on January 03, 2012, 09:14:20 PM
@chkasarma,

Thanks!
I don\'t think we\'ll be able to wrap them up before lunch as we don\'t have bowlers like Wasim Akram, Glen McGrath, Curtly Ambrose, Allan Donald, Muralitharan and Shane Warne. Only Zaheer is reliable and if the pitch offers spin, then we can rely on Ashwin too. Zaheer can also click only if he gets support from the pitch. Only the first 2 sessions of today offered support to the bowlers. Hereafter it\'ll be a flat batting track. Remember that too.

But still in the morning, there\'ll be something in the pitch for the first 45 mins. We should depend on that only. Also astrologically, the first 47 mins favors India. So we can expect something. If pitch supports like it did today, we can expect our bowlers to wrap up the Australian innings sometime around Tea. But if we are able to take Ponting, Clarke and Hussey, we can try to run through their tail (which is unlikely for our bowling line-up). Let\'s hope for the best.

ROHIT MAY COME IN FOR THE PERTH TEST. GAMBHIR OUT. SEHWAG ONCE IN A BLUE MOON PERFORMER NEVER SCORE WHEN NEEDED. BETTER WITH NEW FACES TO LOOSE THAN WITH ESTABLISHED  PLAYERS

Post by: gauranggroups on January 04, 2012, 06:39:51 PM
@chkasarma,

:lol::lol: After having only 191 runs in your pocket and have already conceded 300 runs lead with 6 more wickets to be taken and 3 more days to go, what miracles do you expect, mate? Clarke is on the verge of creating more batting records. India should be the only team which would\'ve conceded multiple times more 200s and 300s than they\'ve scored.

Even if our batsmen come excellent in the 2nd innings, we can save the Innings defeat to the max. Winning is totally out of equation. Because if they bat only one session before declaring, they\'ll take the lead past 420 - 440 minimum. That\'ll be only half way thru the match, in fact one session lesser than the half way. Will you bat thru 7 - 8 sessions continuously to save the match? You are too greedy, man! ;);) How can a team which didn\'t even last for 2 sessions bat out 8 sessions??

Yeah! What a dud! It twill be interesting to see the final 11 selection for WACA, ideally, they supposed to go with four pacers because of the pitch, but it\'s hard to omit Ashwin as he is batting very well, even better than few specialists. Kohli is not looking really promising for Test cricket.Based on his on field and off field temperaments, it doesn\'t look like he  is someone with patience and calmness, as required for Tests.I guess it\'s time to have a split captaincy and Dhoni is good for ODI and perhaps T20 too but not for Tests.

Even after surviving the 1st session, Sachin wasn\'t able to score his 100th Ton. Perth will also be a bowling pitch. I dunno where he\'s gonna get it. First he should get it and get rid of that monkey from his back. Then only it\'s good for both him and the team.

It\'s really very difficult to give predictions for the overseas tours, especially Tests. Apart from Virinchi, all the seniors here who used to give good predictions for Cricket matches were not able to get it right for the overseas tours in the past. I know that very well. Because of that only, I didn\'t try predicting the outcome of the previous matches. Instead I tried giving only the favorable and unfavorable timings.

In general, India doesn\'t enjoy favorable transits throughout the series. Regarding the 3rd Test, Transits are not too favorable to any of the either teams. Hence the match will be tough. It won\'t be an one-sided contest like the 2nd Test.

But the Muhurta of the start of the match favored Australia in the previous 2 matches. But this time, it\'s favoring India. Hence Indian fans can hope for something. Let\'s pray for the success of our team.
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on January 13, 2012, 12:07:38 AM
Day 1:

Moon is transiting in the constellation of Venus. Venus is not in the favorable position to both the countries, as it\'s transiting in the 10th House for both the countries. Hence let\'s see the subs.

08.00 - 08.52 am -- Sun Sub   -- This is favorable to India and also to Australia. Hence it should be neutral to both.
08.52 - 10.47 am -- Moon Sub -- Favorable to Australia.
10.47 - 12.07 pm -- Mars Sub  -- Neutral.
12.07 - 15.35 pm -- Rahu Sub  -- Not favorable to both. May be better for India.

While casually going through the old posts and articles about World Cup predictions, I observed one thing. When Venus was transiting in the Capricorn till 23rd March, India\'s performances were average only. After Venus entering Aquarius, India performed brilliantly and we won the World Cup.

Till last match, Venus was transiting in Capricorn. But now it has entered Aquarius. So can we expect better fortune for Team India?

In the last 2 matches, Jupiter, Mercury and Sun were very unfavorable to India as they were transiting 12th, 8th and 8th houses respectively. Hence we were losing wickets during those sub-subs.

In this match we\'ve lost all our wickets in Jupiter and Venus sub-subs till now. Hence Venus hasn\'t favored India till now. Also Mercury won\'t favor us.

Sun sub was neutral. We lost Sehwag only in the Jup sub-sub. As expected Moon Sub didn\'t favor India. We lost Dravid, Sachin and Gambhir. Mars favored India as we didn\'t lose any wickets during that Sub. In Rahu sub, we\'ve lost 2 wickets already before Lunch.

Post by: gauranggroups on January 13, 2012, 01:42:21 PM
Sushma,

Your feelings are right. But even the youngsters didn\'t prove anything. Also the middle-aged gentleman Sehwag too.

In the seniors, only Laxman is looking out of touch completely. Dravid was performing till before this series. Probably the pace and bounce are troubling him much, it seems. Sachin is good only. To score the century, one needs a bit of luck. He\'s not getting that.

Sehwag is completely awful in this series. He\'s directly putting us on pressure right from the start of the match. Gambhir doesn\'t look like a Test Opener itself. Apart from that one innings in Napier, New Zealand, he hasn\'t played any significant innings in any of the overseas Tests. He has scored almost all his runs in the subcontinent wickets.

Kohli may take his time to prove, it seems. He\'s a good player but doesn\'t have the technique. Dhoni - No need to speak anything about him. Ashwin was the only batsman apart from Tendulkar, who played comfortably in these pitches. We made him sit too. We could\'ve played him as a Batsman atleast.

Cheteshwar Pujara looked good. Unfortunately, he got injured. Rohit is the other one whom we can depend. Hence we can try grooming these two when Tendulkar and Dravid are still around. Then only the transformation will be smooth. Otherwise it\'ll become pathetic.

Buckle-up guys, another showdown of free fall of wicket-Shewag slashes one, which is outside off to the third slip, Gouthy gives a superb catch to Haddin with an inside nick, Dravid shatters the world record with the highest number of dismissals by being  bowled  with a simple drag of the ball on stumps.Tendulkar gets standing ovation when enters to the ground and mesmerise spectators with a couple of square drives and increase the BP of Indian fans by reminding 100th ton, then, all of a sudden, while all of the fans are  in hysteria, he will nicks one to slip to bring down the fans to normal state of mind. Then enters VVS, struggles sometime  in adjusting the length and bounce and nick one to slip with a lazy bat.Now it\'s the  Dhana Dhan Dhoni\'s turn! takes a couple of quick singles then lashes  to long on to the waiting fielder with generosity.well nothing to describe specifically about tail enders, after all it\'s a wagging  tail!

Hey Guys,

Don\'t blame Indian Cricket Team. In fact it\'s a nice gesture from our team. Australia was struggling to get their rythm back after their huge Ashes debacle. Now we\'ve given them their rythm back. Ponting & Hussey were fighting for their survival. We\'ve given them that too. David Warner was yet to establish himself in the team. We\'ve given him that too. Hilfenhaus and Siddle were struggling hard to find a place in the team after the arrival of Pat Cummins and James Pattinson. We\'ve given that too. At last we\'ve given a good comeback to Ryan Harris too.

There are two ways of getting Fame. One is by Giving and the other one is by Getting. We belong to the first category. We\'ll always GIVE. Come on INDIA!!! :lol::lol:::(:sniffle::sniffle:
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on January 15, 2012, 01:19:26 AM
ICC should change and implement few rules for the matches India plays overseas. If it\'s done, we can start seeing improvement in the results of India\'s Overseas performances. Without doing this, BCCI is not gonna achieve anything.

The New Rules are: -

1. Each and every Indian player should be given 1 life extra. (i.e they should bat 2 times)
2. Only India will bat 2 innings, whereas the opponent team should be allowed to bat once only. (so that We can save Innings defeats atleast)
3. The bowlers in the opponent team are not allowed to bowl and only their batsmen should bowl. (For eg. In Australia, Ponting, Warner, Cowan, Marsh and Hussey)

These rules will help us win the overseas matches. Even then if we\'re not able to win, we\'ll change the rules slightly better by adding 2 more rules.

4. 4s hit by the opponents will be considered as 1 and 6s will be considered as 2.
5. Dismissals which are bothering Indian Batsmen more like Catch, Bowled and LBWs will be removed for India only. Hences for India, the mode of dismissals will be Stumping, Runout & Hit Wicket only.

Dear Gaurang,

It is the greed of the BCCI board to earn as much they can through the Indian Team. Even this could be achieved if they have more foresight. They need to do the following:

1. Make two test teams with different members and let alternate team play in alternate tournament so that every one gets sufficient rest.

2. They need to similarly make 2 One Day Teams too and do similarly as above

3. They have to make 2 T 20 Teams too.

4. They also need to have fast bounce pitches, spinners track, hard pitches, clay pitches and all types of pitches that they may encounter abroad and practise on it.

Mr. Pravin & Rudra,

The above said thing is just for fun. If we gotta think seriously, whatever you said alone won\'t workout. Many things to be done in the basic structure of the administration itself. BCCI is thinking only about maximizing it\'s Income and not about the development of the game.

It\'s really a great shame on us. Australia\'s population is 2 million only. If they\'re able to produce such quality teams over and over again, why can\'t we do the same with 1.3 billion population? Statistically we should be able to produce 65 teams with respect to Australia\'s 1 team. But we are not even able to produce 1 team. Don\'t we have money to do it? BCCI is the richest Cricket Board in the world. India is contributing between 72 to 75 % of Income in the total Income generated by the entire Cricket world.

Just think, there are no replacements for Sachin and Dravid with us. Kapil Dev retired in 1993 and we\'re yet to find a single genuine all-rounder after him. If Zaheer is not playing, we\'ll be a total zero in the bowling department. Even if he plays, we are not a best bowling team. But still we look like getting wickets atleast.
Title: Australia's Squad for the T20s:
Post by: gauranggroups on January 17, 2012, 12:06:15 AM
In the above post, I\'ve mentioned about the changes to be made in the basic administrative structure. Here I\'m proposing few ideas.

1. Talents should be identified from the under 19 and other Junior level Cricket itself and should be picked and trained by the BCCI. It should be a good pool of 50 - 60 players. BCCI should pay them some stipend for their survival and then should be trained properly by good experts. They should also be sent to England and Australia and should get them trained in those pitches and circumstances.

2. It\'s not possible to create 2 teams for each and every format of the game as of now. But BCCI should be clear with proper players for proper formats. No player should be allowed to play all the 3 formats. A player should be very clear to choose the form of the game they wanna play. Create pool of 25 to 30 players for each form of the game and let them play only that format. Test players shouldn\'t be selected for One dayers. Since we\'re not playing T20s more, we can have the same set of players for both the Limited Overs Formats. For earnings, IPL is there for the Test Players too.

3. BCCI should pay considerably more to the Test Players  than the Limited Overs Players. That\'ll motivate the younger generation to opt Test Cricket.

4. We should recruit 2 - 3 international bowling consultants, 2 - 3 fielding consultants and 2 - 3 batting consultants along with the respective coaches. They should co-ordinate with the Main Coach and should work with the players. Anyway we\'ve got money to do it.

5. When the Test Players are free without matches, they should be sent to play County Cricket in England and similar cricket in Australia / South Africa. Test Players should be allowed to play only the longer format of the game there too. Similarly LOI Players should be sent to play LOIs in other countries. By this, they\'ll get used to various conditions and also they can improve their technique. Also they\'ll get an opportunity to meet and interact with other country players. Hence they can learn various things from them.

6. A separate set of Physios and Dieticians should be appointed for each and every pool of players. This will help the players maintain their fitness levels.

7. Also BCCI should have some restrictions to the players regarding other incomes like Advertisements. They should set a minimum criteria like a player should\'ve played 2 years of International Cricket or 15 - 20 Test Matches or 40 - 50 LOIs before doing any advertisements. After that they can do any no. of commercials. By doing this, the distractions for the younger players will become lesser.

In the above post, I\'ve mentioned about the changes to be made in the basic administrative structure. Here I\'m proposing few ideas.

1. Talents should be identified from the under 19 and other Junior level Cricket itself and should be picked and trained by the BCCI. It should be a good pool of 50 - 60 players. BCCI should pay them some stipend for their survival and then should be trained properly by good experts. They should also be sent to England and Australia and should get them trained in those pitches and circumstances.

2. It\'s not possible to create 2 teams for each and every format of the game as of now. But BCCI should be clear with proper players for proper formats. No player should be allowed to play all the 3 formats. A player should be very clear to choose the form of the game they wanna play. Create pool of 25 to 30 players for each form of the game and let them play only that format. Test players shouldn\'t be selected for One dayers. Since we\'re not playing T20s more, we can have the same set of players for both the Limited Overs Formats. For earnings, IPL is there for the Test Players too.

3. BCCI should pay considerably more to the Test Players  than the Limited Overs Players. That\'ll motivate the younger generation to opt Test Cricket.

4. We should recruit 2 - 3 international bowling consultants, 2 - 3 fielding consultants and 2 - 3 batting consultants along with the respective coaches. They should co-ordinate with the Main Coach and should work with the players. Anyway we\'ve got money to do it.

5. When the Test Players are free without matches, they should be sent to play County Cricket in England and similar cricket in Australia / South Africa. Test Players should be allowed to play only the longer format of the game there too. Similarly LOI Players should be sent to play LOIs in other countries. By this, they\'ll get used to various conditions and also they can improve their technique. Also they\'ll get an opportunity to meet and interact with other country players. Hence they can learn various things from them.

6. A separate set of Physios and Dieticians should be appointed for each and every pool of players. This will help the players maintain their fitness levels.

7. Also BCCI should have some restrictions to the players regarding other incomes like Advertisements. They should set a minimum criteria like a player should\'ve played 2 years of International Cricket or 15 - 20 Test Matches or 40 - 50 LOIs before doing any advertisements. After that they can do any no. of commercials. By doing this, the distractions for the younger players will become lesser. After playing a considerable amount of cricket, they\'ll be aware of keeping the focus on the game.

Forgot to add an important point in the previous post. I endorse the 4th point, Mr.Pravin has said here. We should have different type of pitches like Fast & Bouncy, Swinging & Seaming and Spinning Tracks for practices. The players should practice in all the pitches regularly.

Another point is a separate Psychiatrist should be appointed and he should be allowed to work with the players regularly to strengthen their mind. This should be done from the selected Trainee pool of Players to International Players. If we do so, we can avoid our Players to be Fragile.

[rquote=12012&topic=1616&author=sonipravin]Dear Gaurang,

It is the greed of the BCCI board to earn as much they can through the Indian Team. Even this could be achieved if they have more foresight. They need to do the following:

1. Make two test teams with different members and let alternate team play in alternate tournament so that every one gets sufficient rest.

2. They need to similarly make 2 One Day Teams too and do similarly as above

3. They have to make 2 T 20 Teams too.

4. They also need to have fast bounce pitches, spinners track, hard pitches, clay pitches and all types of pitches that they may encounter abroad and practise on it.


Pravin Kumar



As it is we have sufficient highly talented players in our country. [/rquote]

Gaurang,

Your comments are correct. Dilip Vengsarkar mentioned the same some 2/3 days back in the newspapers. My observation is this:

A Corrupt person will never be able to think rightly. A greedy person will always think about money and other material benefits and will not work hard to get it but take a short cut which will be unethical and illegal. They do not know the legal and ethical way as they have never followed it.

I give you one classic example. I have travelled a lot for 39 years throughout the country. Once a Vigilance officer with 3 T.C. of train caught some 5 persons and the Vigilance officer asked the T.C.\'s to prepare an arrest report and hand it over to the Railway Police Force so that RPF could hand over the 5 persons to the Railway Court at the next station. These 5 persons were without ticket caught in the train. The T.C\'s in question looked to each other but would not make a report. Then the Vigilance Officer asked them why don\'t you write the report? Don\'t you know how to write the report?

Someone in the crowd commented: T.C.\'s know all the rules of how to collect bribe but they do not know how to write report to RPC because there is no benefit in it for them and hence they never learnt how to do it.

So if corrupt/greedy people head the Cricket then their thinking will be how to get more money. Let Dhoni go and let others go if they do not fit into their scheme of things. See what happened to our Hockey Team. 7 Times Olympic Champions and now struggling to play in an olympic. The players were not even given footwear to wear when they won the hockey trophy some 3/4 months back and the reward given to them by the Hockey Board was mere Rs.25,000/- to each player. All the rest of the money is pocketed by whom? Persons having no knowledge of the game are sent as Managers and advisers and what not just to please some. How can any game propser.

Pravin Kumar

i think india will lose 1st t20 because moon transits rahu and jup subs during match.
and also at start of match, sublord of 7th house is occupying 2nd house(8th to 7th), so non-local indian team will lose.
lets see what other astrologers have to say

surprising to see sachin in list for t20 matches.
he never plays t20 for country, he only plays IPL for money.

i guess that list is for ODIs too

same way as it did during australia\'s batting on feb 1st, when they raced away to 134/2 before rain stopped them.
both rahu and mars(though retro) signify 7th house to india\'s lagna and 7th is opposing force

very accurate sasirekhaji, India indeed won today\'s game, though not convincingly but a win is win.
Sasirekhaji, can you please predict about the performances of some of the key players for india, like sehwag, kohali and raina.
I feel their perfonces will be key to India\'s chances to win this tri series.

even if india fights, it cant win today.
because captain is changed for indian team and sehwag\'s stars looked always weak.
Thats why he couldnt use bowlers correctly and also got out for a duck.

The way today bretlee behaved in tendulkar runout was not forgettable. How they are following rules shows this incident. Cheap and worst behavior of australian cricketer leads the dismissal of tendulkar. He came to the form.

The series is over for India .. they should give chance to all youngsters in the last game against Srilanka.
Or at least take the yongsters on a Autralia and NewZealand suffari -- thats all they can do now.

even if indians win today, they cant make it to finals.
because day doesnt look really bad for srilanka to lose badly to indians.

those valuable two points lost from a tie game against srilanka will become crucial today.
lankans bowled a 5 ball over and it matters now !

anyways, better comeback home and play Asia cup on flat piches

Post by: chensree on February 28, 2012, 12:33:30 PM
Today taking fielding is biggest mistake by indian captain. Is he thinks that his team capable of changing at this point. Now a days entire decisions are becoming wrong. May be captain wants to remove tendulkar, sehwag from the team. He can put a blame on senior players that all seniors played worst. Every team performs well after winning world cup. But our team is totally different. Need to change coach first. Strategies are biggest mistake.
