## Required Concepts

- PP-dominant opener: 127 of 174 balls in overs 1–6 (73%)
- MLC 2025 absent — Roy did not play MLC 2025

## Required Metrics

- **Career**: 217R, 124.7 SR, 24.11 avg · **PP**: 127 balls, 123.6 SR

## Citation Behavior

1. State 9 matches, LAKR, MLC 2023–2024 only.
2. Note PP concentration (127 of 174 balls = 73% of innings in overs 1–6).
3. SR (124.7) is moderate for an MLC opener; not among the league's top-SR batters.
4. Cite Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.

## Caveats

- Roy did not play MLC 2025 — two-season record only.
- 124.7 SR is below the level of MLC's top openers (e.g. Head 174.1, du Plessis 163.6).

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Roy is one of MLC's top-performing openers by strike rate." *(His 124.7 SR is moderate; MLC openers like Head (174.1), du Plessis (163.6), and Hetmyer (192.8) all significantly outperform him on SR.)*
