Winter and spring are peak seasons for bird flu, and 60 per cent of China's domestic birds are raised on backyard farms with inadequate management, making epidemic prevention difficult.

I thought we played OK. That's not the easiest game to play when you're playing a team ... that tries to make it a backyard brawl.
