Cricketics Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 going to university does not make one smart just like not all degree holders are not educated. Thats like saying reading whole MCC book and mastering at one of it's exam makes you the best ever cricketer technically.
Serani Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Thats like saying reading whole MCC book and mastering at one of it's exam makes you the best ever cricketer technically. No its not.....at all. Dont be a silly sausage.
surajmal Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Only according to pretty much every "top university" guide in the world. For example. http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2010-2011/reputation-rankings.html Just google it, oh look no indian universities why they being racist? What is the research output of Cambridge? How many patents has it applied for? Any prominent authors, literarians in recent years? As far Science is concerned nothing has come out of England in the last 80 years. Stephen Hawking wasted his intellect by studying theoretical physics. Rest on past laurels is a nice English past time. No wonder Oxford has become such a dump.

Indian education standards still in the third world?
surajmal Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Not being a dickhead but why are UK and US universities filled with Indians? Indian education standards still in the third world? because there are limited seats in IIT, IIM and AIIMS. Only the rejected ones (and those who can afford it) seek higher education abroad. Also Post Graduate funding is zilch in India. And please don't put US and UK in the same bracket. UK is truly third world in higher education by US standards.
THX_1138 Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Well being as he went to Cambridge University I would say his IQ is far superior to yours. well then imran khan must be a fracking god sent.
Cricketics Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 what? how did you get that from what I said? I wanted to quote Serani there. My apologies.
Blue-no1 Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 :UK and the English consistently try to associate with the US and try to take credit for several things that the US does. They try to use US/UK i interchangeably in an discussion. US universities and UK comparison.? What a ridiculous joke. UK is light years behind US in higher education. It should not surprise people that the best scientists in the world are Americans, chinese and Indians. Dumb Brits :finger:
Blue-no1 Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Not being a dickhead but why are UK and US universities filled with Indians? Indian education standards still in the third world? Do you know this? India helps the begger nation http://www.indianexpress.com/news/indian-alumni-help-cambridge-raise-1-billion-pounds/632553/0 Indian alumni help Cambridge raise 1 billion pounds.

By most research indicators, Cambridge is comfortable in top 10 in most sciences. WTF are you on about ? :WTF:

NareshK Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 England :hehe: Wasn't these guys who wanted Hotspot and Hawkeye to be made compulsory ? So its good as long as it helps them but useless when it doesnt. What hypocrisy ! What about KP's decision which was over turned by Hot spot and given not out even when there was a sound and he went on to make 200. The sound was the bat hitting the pad which was the same with VVS's case. What a bunch of whiners these Englishmen are.

surajmal Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 few of those are debatable (regarding nationalities) but I take your point. Shouldn't have been talking outta my ass. But there is a reason English economy has been tanking since the WW2 even though they too have opened the doors to immigrants ala United States (so there should be no shortage of opportunistic foreign scientists/intellectuals).
Cricket Tragic Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Cheeks? Vaseline? Whats going on ? :nervous: This has been talked about for several months now. If you believe some people, batsmen have been trying to beat the system. A few batsmen apparently admitted it in a private conversation.
vamos_rafa Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Why did no SOB lashed out when Pieterson,who was actually given out by the umpire on MSD's bowling, was reprieved. There was a woody noise then as well and the hot spot could not pick that as well. Bloody hypocrites...
