This is the 9th World Cup and 2007 adds up to 9. Number 9 is extremely important in numerology because this is the ultimate number. Number 9 is ruled by the action-oriented planet Mars. Therefore, there is full guarantee that the crowd will get back its money's worth of entertainment.
The first match is being played between hosts West Indies and Pakistan today. The zodiac sign of both Brian Lara and Inzamam-ul-Haq is same i.e. Pisces.
But the planet of action Mars is very strong in Lara's chart which means we will see a glimpse of old Lara as Mars is ascending on this very day. In Inzamam-ul-Haq's chart, Mars and Saturn both are well aligned.
That means he will take time to settle down as Saturn is a sluggish planet.
If rain does not play spoilsport, Pakistan stand a better chance of winning.
Key players of this match:
Other than Lara and Inzamam, Mercury is strong in Ian Bradshaw's chart, therefore we expect a mercurian knock from him and Chris Gayle's Sun is very strong which is likely to make him deliver the goods. Marlon Samuels can shine as a bowler. For Pakistan, Azhar Mahmoud's Moon is aligning very well. So, after initial hiccups, he can fare very well. Shahid Afridi's Jupiter is very strong today. And Mohammad Sami is the man to watch out as Saturn is in a devastating mood.
Astrologer Ajai Bhambi's will be giving his predictions before every game.
Are you superstitious about your team’s chances in this World Cup? Is it okay for sportsmen to be superstitious before they go out to perform?

This is a fair game where players have to prove themselves and not rely on the superstitions.

This is cricket. The team which plays well on that partular day can win. The ICC World Cup is still open. Any team can create an upset.

It's just not right for sportsmen to be superstitious. A sportsman should be confident enough to play his game right and win it.

My team is Pakistan. I am little bit superstitious about my team's chances of winning the World Cup, because we don't have two of our star fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif. But our batting line-up is very strong and we can defeat any team in this World Cup. Players should be confident before they take to the field.

Astrologers need to be reminded that Afridi is not playing because he is serving a ban!

Not at all superstitious! Well, about the sportsmen, they just need to perform rather than base their play/action on superstition. Do the best and leave the rest...
