    "editor1": "<p><strong>Sydney, March 27:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Australia&#39;s imited-overs captain Aaron Finch has named Harbhajan Singh as his favourite Indian bowler. Finch was asked a wide range of questions during a Twitter chat as he stayed indoors like all others to fight against the deadly coronavirus which on Friday infected even UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Loved Harbhajan Singh during his prime, specially on spinning wickets,&quot; Finch said in a reply to a question.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finch was also asked to compare Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara and asked who was more fun to bat with, Lara or Tendulkar?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The question referred to the time when Finch played alongside both Tendulkar and Lara for Marylebone Cricket Club against Rest of the World XI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finch had hit an unbeaten 181 and put on partnerships with both Tendulkar and Lara respectively as he guided his team to a seven-wicket victory. &quot;Both&quot; he replied ducking the question.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finch also said opening the batting with Tendulkar was a dream come true.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It was like a dream, one of my greatest cricketing memories.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He was also asked, tongue in cheek, about a Bhuvneshwar Kumar bizarre dead ball in an ODI in 2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I had no idea what to do...shouldn&#39;t have pulled away, I got out next ball...last ball of the over,&quot; Finch tweeted in response.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The ball in question took place during the third and final ODI of India&#39;s tour of Australia on January 18 last year.<\/p>\r\n",
