    "editor1": "<p>22nd Dec. (CRICKETNMORE) - Cricket Australia (CA) has banned&nbsp;Sydney Thunder&#39;s&nbsp;Andre Russell black-painted bat&nbsp;after it was found to have discoloured the ball. The West Indies all-rounder made nine from seven balls in Thunder&#39;s nine-wicket derby defeat by Sydney Sixers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>CA had originally approved Russell&#39;s bat before Monday&#39;s match, which was the 2016-17 tournament opener.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Head of the Big Bash Anthony Everard said: &quot;The match officials provided feedback to Cricket Australia that the bat used by Andre left black marks on the match ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;As a result, we have decided to withdraw our approval for Andre to use the bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Should Andre, or any other Big Bash or Women&#39;s Big Bash player for that matter, wish to use a bat with a different colouring solution that doesn&#39;t result in the discolouration of the match ball, they will be permitted to do so.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;This is subject to Cricket Australia being satisfied that the bat won&#39;t compromise the integrity of the game, which we believe discolouring the match ball does.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>Saurabh Sharma<\/p>\r\n",
