    "editor1": "<p><strong>Sydney, Feb 4:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Melbourne Stars all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has been crowned the Big Bash League (BBL) Player of the Tournament following a record-breaking season with the bat. Stoinis edged out Sydney Sixers Tom Curran for the honour, polling 26 votes to Curran&#39;s 24 from the match umpires after each match of the 56-game home and away season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sydney Thunder opener Alex Hales finished in third place with 23 votes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 30-year-old finished the regular season as BBL|09&#39;s leading runs-scorer (a position he still holds) with 607 runs, five half-centuries and an unforgettable 147 no against the sixers, the highest individual total in the history of the competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m honoured to have been voted as the 2019-20 KFC Big Bash League Player of the Tournament,&quot; Stoinis was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I love playing for the Melbourne Stars. This team is special to me and I love having the opportunity to run out onto the field with them. We&#39;ve got a big match against the Sydney Thunder on Thursday night and I hope to see our Team Green fans at the MCG to help get us over the line,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>His efforts played a pivotal role in the Stars finishing the regular season in first place with 10 wins from 14 matches, earning the club a second chance in the new-look finals system.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Opening the batting for the Stars, Stoinis posted 81 unbeaten from 54 balls against Hobart Hurricanes in Moe to kick start his season. His 58 against the Thunder on January 2 in Sydney steered his side to victory, despite an epic of collapse of 6-19 that almost delivered an unthinkable defeat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That knock at Sydney Showgrounds Stadium was the start of a hat-trick of half-centuries, with scores of 68 and 50 following in less than a week later.<\/p>\r\n",
