    Places you didn't like for no reason

    What cities/towns or any other place that comes to your mind which you do not like for no reason you can think of. Just that the vibes of that place doesn't suit you. For me it's Hyderabad. I really cannot think of a reason why I dislike that city although everything looked okay to me.

    Best English bowling attack

    Here are the three that I'm kind of familiar with. I'm not familiar with the history of English cricket so I won't be able to participate much in this thread, apologies for that. Since there isn't a thread on this in CW, I'd like members with good knowledge to discuss among themselves. You may...

    Best batsman against mediocre bowling

    We've done threads for best players of spin/pace/swing/seam. Now this thread is a tribute to all flat track bullies who will make the most of a flat pitch and 70 mph gun barrel straight military medium bowlers. Format doesn't matter, Tests/ODIs/T20. I left out Viv Richards from the poll because...

    Computer scientist vs computer programmer

    Okay, a nerdy thread now. I was going through what is taught in AI, and it appears to be full of hardcore math with barely any emphasis on programming. To which I conclude that computer scientists are basically mathematicians who develop sophisticated algorithms and not necessarily good at...

    Are we in the midst of a paradigm shift?

    Gasoline/diesel engines are being replaced by synchronous motors (electric vehicles). Malls and shopping centers are closing down due to e commerce. Pubs are closing down in the UK as people socialize online and drink at home. I won't be surprised if in the future coding basics will be...

    What is fast bowling mostly about?

    I exactly remember Jimmy Anderson clocking 93 mph in an ODI game against New Zealand with a very economical run up, and it wasn't a speed gun glitch because he was averaging 89 mph in that 10 over spell. This was probably New Zealand's tour of England in 2008. Post diabetes Wasim Akram could...

    Is networking against merit?

    They say to get a job it's who you know matters most. It's a present day fact, but is it ethical? To me networking is a product of present day competitive environment. Introverts and people with asperger's syndrome have it hard.

    To PhD or not to Phd?

    Hello. Is it advisable to pursue a PhD in engineering if I do not wish to remain in academia? What kind of attitude is required for a PhD in engineering? It will be great if someone can give good and bad reasons to do a PhD as well! P.S.: The advisor I know is a great professor, he's working...

    How were amateurs and professionals different from each other in batting styles?

    Did the amateurs emphasize more on defense and well timed cricket shots? And the professionals on shots like hook/pull and slogs?

    How does internet data work?

    Hi CWers! back after a long time, this question is directed to computer science folks from CW. I have always been curious to know how data works, for example if the internet data usage limit is 600 MB and I use all of 600 MB, what happens to that 600 MB later? Does it get permanently vanished...

    Innings played by batsmen with minimum percentage of runs scored in boundaries

    Can you think of any innings where a batsman made a huge score but hardly hit any fours or sixes? Don Bradman's 144 comes to my mind, he hit only 5 fours in that innings.

    Is forgiving others a sign of being weak?

    There is this person I know, we were friends few years ago. He would not respect my personal boundaries and would be too domineering in behaviour, this gradually led to me ending the friendship. Few years later, he adds me on facebook, linkedin and also asks for my number. I do not hold grudges...

    Your most gloomiest/disappointing moments as a cricket fan

    Mention 3 moments which were your ultimate lows as a cricket fan. This does not include tragic incidents on-field/off-field, only limited to game/series results. In descending order, for me are: 1. 2011 tour to England: I was very confident that our side would at least draw the series if not...

    Anger Management.

    How do CW members deal with it ? I usually do not let my anger out at workplace, but keeping this anger pent up ruins my health and day.
