Gold Astrology

Gold is one of the best precious metals and we have been advocating buying gold at declines. We had started saying BUY Gold, when the price was $900 onwards. Now Gold is at $1628 for an ounce and still going strong.

The Oil Ministers decided in 2009 to trade oil in gold, yuan, yen and euro, as the Dollar was showing signs of weakness. This is one of the reasons why Gold is going up.

We have reports that billionaires like Soros and Bufett etc are taking up great positions in gold and buying mining companies.

It was observed that the Gold Price is inversely proportional to the Dollex, the USDX. Yesterday USDX went up by one point and gold declined from 1674 to 1645. Now it is at 1628 per ounce.

Jupiter represents Gold in Astrology. Now Jupiter in Aries is responsible for the secondary reaction happening in Gold. From a high of 1900 dollars, it is now at 1628.

It was a real cliffhanger of a match and Kevon Cooper proved to the the man of the hour, as T & T beat the Cobras by two wickets yesterday.

Cooper struck 25 off 11 balls, a matchwinning innings. He had also starred with the bat against Chennai.

Chasing a modest 138, T & T were struggling initially, as both openers fell cheaply for 26. From the last two overs, they needed 24 runs to win, with 3 wickets in hand.

Dale Steyn bolwed the penultimate over and 15 runs were blasted by T & T . Nine runs were needed from the last over and T & T achieved that effortlessly.

Darren Bravo top scored with 36, but it was the day of Kevon Cooper, who lofted Steyn for a glorious six in the penultimate over. Steyn's figures were economical till that time.

Earlier Shah ( 63* ) and Vilas ( 54) scored half centuries to bring the Cobras to some semblance of respectability, at 137/4.

Warner's century destroys Chennai

Dave Warner blasted 8 sixes in a formidable display of batting. and NSW Blues scored a massive 201/2. Chennai could not do anything about it and is now out of CLT20 !

Chennai was helpless as a rampaging Warner smashed 11 fours and 8 huge sixes, in a mammoth individual score of 135 not out. Chennai lost their composure before that whirlwind knock and was nervously all out for 155 !

When T & T defeated Cobras, they had assured that only one Indian tem - Mumbai Indians - qualified. Chennai had come with hopes of making it, but they had to have a better run rate and win the match. They lost it due to too much tension.

When we said in our columns that Dhoni is having the adverse 8th transit of Jupiter, we meant what we said. Look at the way India lost in England. When India won the World Cup, Jupiter was in the favourable 7th for Dhoni.

One player can decide the game in the T20 format and it was Warner's day ( as it was Gayle's before ).

Somerset quiver before Gayle storm !

Gayle spearheaded a great Bangalore victory, as he blasted 86 off 46 , with eight sixes and four fours. A CLT20 record of 14 sixes were blasted by Bangalore. 206/6 is the highest in the CLT20 championship this season.

Gayle hit Dockrell for 21 runs in over, including three massive sixes. Trego also got hit, as 50 runs were conceded in his three overs.

An intimidating 207 target was given by Bangalore and Somerset never came anywhere near that. Gayle had sent a scare to the opposition !

Gayle lost Dilshan ( 23 ) and joined hands with Kohli ( 33) and the second wicket pair smashed 70 off 40 balls. Saurabh Tiwary scored 18 and adding 49 runs with Gayle.Agarwal shone in the death overs, blasting 19, with two sixes.

Somerset could only manage 155/6 and Vettori's side won for the first time in the competition.

Narine wrecks Chennai

Narine took three wickets for Trinidad & Tobago and won the game for them. For Chennai, this was an abysmal performance, one which they should try to forget !

They couldnt chase a modest 124 and were just 111/6, at the end of the allotted 20 overs.

Hussey was crestfallen after the loss "It wasn't a difficult target. We had our plans ready. We wanted to get off to a good start, keep wickets intact and then attack in the last few overs. But unfortunately, we lost three quick wickets. Ideally, one of the top three or four should have played a majority of the innings."

A shoddy performance had done Chennai in. "Ours is a flexible order but we lost quick wickets. We needed someone to stabilise the innings, and that's the reason we sent (Wriddhiman) Saha up the order. Both Saha and S Badrinath have done the job for us previously. But unfortunately, it didn't work today." said the dejected Hussey.

Off spinner Sunil Narine came as Nemesis and took three vital wickets, to put Chennai on the back foot. He took three for eight in his allotted four overs.

"We couldn't read which way he (Narine) was spinning the ball because we haven't played him before. Sometimes, it's tough to play someone we haven't faced. There was a bit of Ajantha Mendis sort of mystery with him, but the more we play him we will get used to him, as it happened with Mendis. I thought their spinners bowled wonderfully and the slowness of the track aided them," said Mr Cricket.

Mr Cricket felt that Chennai should have opened with Ashwin and not with the two medium pacers. "There was a bit of variable bounce on the track, so we thought it's better to use fast bowlers up front. A lot of balls kept low and medium pacers could have better utilised it."

Hussey hoped that the relaid Chepauk pitch will play better in the future.

"After the IPL, they dug it up and re-laid it, and most pitches will take time to be din. So we have to give some more time for the groundsmen to work on it. The crowd will obviously be quite disappointed, but come next IPL, I'm sure there will be plenty of runs on this wicket. But as a player, we should be able adapt to all kinds of pitches." he averred.

Earlier, T & T's innings was redeemed by a 28 off 10 from their bowler Kevon Cooper. Barath ( 23 ) and Perkins ( 34 ) also batted well.

For Chennai, Dwayne Bravo's 32 was the only redeeming feature. Most of the reputed batsmen fell, unable to read Narine's off breaks.
