We used to have a bantam rooster when I was a kid. He would puff his chest out and strut around the fowl yard, pecking at all the hens. Silly thing used to annoy us by crowing way too early each day, so we knocked his head off and had him for Sunday lunch.
Sound like anyone around here?
“England’s Vastly Superior batting will put paid to the Australia team in the Ashes. England’s top six (or seven if you count Prior, which I do)"
blah blah blah...
"of course, very few of the Aussie team are actually spring chickens"
Coming from a bantam, there is an interesting avarian reference there, but the real question might be, is this bantam a rooster or just a goose with egg on his face?
While we’re talking about birds:
Is the problem Captain Cooks poultry (, sorry) contribution to the run tally?
Has the Swann turned into an ugly duckling?
Siddle has Bell and KP out ten times each in tests, does that make them a brace of pigeons?
Prior a batsman? Two ducks in this series so far. But then again, with his performance behind the stumps so far, he must be there for his batting
But there's one bird that can strut his stuff…….a kiwi
A Bantam or Just a Cocksparrow?

"Bit of hypocrisy here lads"
Right, so showing up arrogance for what it is is hypocritical?

Few more gems here:
"England should canter to a 4 or 5 nil victory.
Clarke is the Aussies only top class batsman, the rest are there to be humiliated."
"who the heck are the Aussies going to "backlash" England with??! By the time you read this, Clarke will probably have another back problem and Harris will be out for even longer than expected.
Lets be honest, England for the Ashes again"
"Why? What's wrong with Swann, we already have the best spinner in the world!"
"Clarke will be quietly crapping himself, he knows he is the only Aussie that would get into the England team.
England should canter to 4 or 5 nil."
"yap yap yap all they do.. lets see if the aussies can show on the field what their egos say in their heads."
"and RabbitOhs has dissapeared off the face of the earth!! Fickle foes indeed..."
The author of the last comment has been missing for a little while now.

I was actually saying before series started that predictions and comments on here were ridiculous, said it would be a close series, evidently not, hence this article.
But crying foul when Aussies under fire then start doing the exact same thing towards England players smacks of hypocrisy.

They are just ornithological puns, he is not really having a go.

Only intended as a bit of fun Davidoff, I didn't cry foul, I cried fowl
But I did see a few chickens when Johnson was bowling the other day and if your lads don't stop performing like a flock of drongos, this series is as dead as a dodo
