## Required Concepts

- Single-season, single-franchise record (MLC 2023 only, 5 matches)
- Only middle-overs phase (46 balls) meets the ≥30-ball batting floor
- PP (21b) and death (20b) both below floor

## Required Metrics

- **Career**: 133R, 152.9 SR · **Middle**: 46 balls, 163.0 SR (only publishable phase rate)

## Citation Behavior

1. State MLC 2023 only, LAKR, 5 matches — limited sample (medium confidence).
2. Give career batting table.
3. Middle-overs rate (163.0 SR, 46 balls) is the only phase rate above the ≥30-ball floor.
4. PP (21b) and death (20b) are below floor — state explicitly.
5. Cite Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.

## Caveats

- 5 matches is a small MLC sample — medium confidence.
- PP and death both below floor — no rate claims for those phases.
- MLC 2024, 2025 absent — Rossouw did not play MLC beyond 2023.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Rossouw has a strong 230.0 SR at death in MLC." *(20 balls is below the ≥30-ball floor — the death SR is not publishable as a reliable rate. Only the middle-overs rate (163.0, 46 balls) meets the sample-size floor.)*
