I am Yuvi, hear me Roar.

March 21, 2011

In the animal kingdom, big boy animals sometimes have a roar off. They just stand there at roar at each other. Roar, roar, roar until one decides the other one has roared the loudest and the most and he gives way. Yuvraj Singh had a roar off on Sunday…. …with the entire West Indies team. [...]

So, are India the chokers now?

January 23, 2011

This post sounded way better and a lot less rambling-like prior to Yusuf Pathan bending South Africa over and giving them a good rogering. The question is still the same, though.

Yusuf Pathan, made of steel, stealing my heart
