Andrew Strauss, Captain (England)
Birth Information: 1st March 1977 (Johannesburg, South Africa)

In 2009, when Kevin Pietersen stepped down from captaincy, this highly rated cricketer replaced him to lead England. Although Andrew Strauss was a stand-in for injured Michael Vaughan and Flintoff, he was finally recognized and permanently appointed. While Pietersen’s magnificent 158 at the Oval during the 2005 Ashes grabbed headlines, Strauss played a pivotal role, tiring out Lee, Mc Grath and Warne with his 129. Strauss was awarded MBE for the same.

Going through Andrew Strauss’ birth chart, instability is predicted considering the fact that he is a Cancer ascendant. But Jupiter’s prime focus in the 5th house will counter this and provide him with stability of mind and body. Strauss will be in position to make sound decisions as the captain and lead the England side strong. The conjugation of Sun, Mars and Mercury will bring on the hurdles. Troublesome situations may arise where Strauss will face challenges. But since the zodiac transit is favorable for the captain, Strauss will sail through it. Since the captain’s role is inevitably important, Strauss’ individual performance will help boost other’s performance. He has always made valuable contribution when only a miracle could help England. The brave and dependable opener will inspire others to perform their best.

England has reached and stumbled in world cup finals thrice. This time around, they have turned up with a strong team and can definitely make it to the Semi Finals. But there in, they will have to play really well because the other contenders for the cup are fierce as ever. As a captain Fantastic, Strauss played a great knock- 158, against India in the match which eventually tied. Bresnan was a surprise package as he took 5 wickets. Other than that Collingwood, Pietersen, Anderson, Swann are the players to look for. All depends on how well England plays and crosses the hurdles in the race to win the World Cup. If they do, 2011 could turn out to be the year which England has been waiting for- The World Cup year!
