    "editor1": "<p><strong>Brisbane, Jan 9:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;A five-year-old child suffering from brain cancer on Thursday had a dream come true as he assisted in the &#39;bat flip&#39; during the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) contest between Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes. The kid, named Slater Walker, is a die-hard fan of the Brisbane-based franchise, who had called him to the ground as a guest of honour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Assisting with the bat flip tonight is 5-year-old Slater Walker. Unfortunately, Slater is suffering from brain cancer, but is a massive @HeatBBL fan and is the guest of honour at the Gabba tonight. Enjoy the match, Slater,&quot; BBL tweeted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the BBL, normal coin toss, which is widely used in cricket matches across the globe, has been replaced by the bat flip where the away team captain calls &#39;hills&#39; or &#39;roofs&#39; to take their call in the match. The only condition is that the bat must complete one full rotation before landing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was first tried during the 2018 edition of the BBL and it has been followed since then.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the ongoing match, the Hurricanes had won the toss and opted to bat against the hosts.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Hurricanes won the bat flip &amp; will BAT first <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BBL09?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BBL09<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/l3wS2zzmu3\">pic.twitter.com\/l3wS2zzmu3<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; KFC Big Bash League (@BBL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BBL\/status\/1215173170971303937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 9, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>",
