Adverse Jupiter does it for India !

We had warned against the adverse transits of Jupiter, adverse for both Dhoni and India.

While Jove in the 10th indicates " loss of position and wandering about" for India, for Dhoni Jove transits the hostile 8th, indicating fall !

India whitewashed and humiliated, we can now understand. Sachin losing his 100th century also.

Just shows how powerful the Nine Revolving Heavens are and how the physique and the psyche of the natives are affected.

Now India will have to resurrect herself from the ruins!

Good luck, India. Well done, England !

India becomes a laughing stock !

It is to the credit of Gooch that England owes its batting renaissance. Gooch gave tips to the English batsmen and you can see the result.

Gooch scored 333 against India in one Test and he knows the methodology to counter Indian swing and spin. Mentally and physically he prepared the English batsmen to score massive scores.

England did score heavily in Australia, where they trounced the Kangaroos in Tests. Now it is their turn to defeat India.

India is now a laughing stock, despite Dravid's 35th ton, an unconquered 146 not out. India most probably will lose this Test and it is time to do some rethinking !

India slump to their heaviest defeat

We had warned in our columns that India is facing the adverse 10th transit of Jupiter. Dhoni is under the 8th Jovian transit.

But that did not deter him to score 74 not out, but all his heroics were in vain, as India slid to an inglorious defeat.

The 10th adverse Transit of Jove refers to "loss of position and wandering about". This is true of the One day World Champions, who will get brickbats and not the laurel, when they return home.

Sending a second XI to the West Indies and a first XI to England, well, things wont work out that way. England was preparing hard and smashed India 3-0!

Uphill task for India

India is dithering, with England scoring 456/3. Cook is undefeated with 182. Stauss was out for 87 and KP for 63. Eoin Morgan scored 44.

Indian bowlers were made to look ordinary before the might of English batting. India is at a big psychological disadvantage, having lost both Tests.

India's rating is bound to suffer because of such lack lustre performances.

As we have outlined in our columns before, adverse Jupiterian transits have affected both India and Dhoni. We hope the Indian team will come out of the impasse with flying colors.

Dhoni's 77 redeems not India !

Dhoni scored a gutsy 77, but that could not save India, who dithered to 224 all out.

It was a pathetic display of batsmanship, as Sehwag fell for nought and Sachin for one. P Kumar gave a good stand to Dhoni, after the visitors were 7/111.

Strauss scored a brilliant 50 and is still unconquered, with England 84 for no wicket.

Only Gambhir (38) and Laxman (30) could stay at the wicket. The rest was a procession.

Broad and Bresnan took 4 wickets each and swung India out cheap.

P Kumar's 26 saved India, as he gave a good stand to the Indian skipper. Will England do a 4-0 whitewash ?

Adverse Jupiter Strikes for Dhoni and India !

Adverse Jupiter for both India ( Jove in the 10th ) and Dhoni ( 8th ) wreacked havoc as India slumped to a huge defeat.

A defeat by 319 runs and England moved over to top place in ICC Rankings. What happened to India is a huge slump.

Jupiter moved over to the 10th in India's national chart on May 8. Dhoni is under 8th Jupiter ( Ashtame Haritho Bali ).

England holds absolute sway !

Bell's century ensured that England is in control of this Test.

Indian bowlers could not achieve much success as Bell plundered 159, Morgan 70, KP 63 and Prior 64 not out. England were in absolute command at 441/6.

India will have to fight it hard to save this Test. It will need a century of centuries from the Little Master, if India is to hold on to a draw.

Maybe this is the occasion we are waiting for !
