## Required Concepts

- Marcus Stoinis is Australia's right-handed batter and right-arm medium-pace all-rounder
- Death batting (188.0 SR from 383 balls — well above floor) is his strongest batting phase
- Batting PP SR (123.3) is low — Stoinis is NOT a powerplay opener; he bats middle-to-lower order
- 106 sixes across 10 seasons — confirms consistent six-hitting ability
- Bowling: useful medium-pace option, primarily middle overs; economy (9.79) reflects the attacking IPL environment

## Required Metrics

- **Runs**: 2,026 · **Avg**: 28.14 · **SR**: 145.5 · **Sixes**: 106
- **PP SR**: 123.3 (240 balls) · **Middle SR**: 131.3 (769 balls) · **Death SR**: **188.0** (383 balls)
- **Wickets**: 44 · **Economy**: 9.79

## Citation Behavior

1. Lead with runs (2,026) and death SR (188.0 from 383 balls).
2. Note PP SR (123.3) — he bats mid-to-lower, not as an opener.
3. Bowling: 44 wickets as a secondary all-round contribution.
4. Specify 10 seasons (2016–2025) Cricsheet.

## Caveats

- IPL 2026 tracked separately.
- Bowling economy (9.79) and average (32.93) reflect a part-time/secondary bowling role.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Marcus Stoinis is a powerplay specialist in the IPL." *(Stoinis's PP batting SR is 123.3 from 240 balls — below average for powerplay batters. His value is in the Death overs (SR 188.0 from 383 balls). He is a middle-to-lower order finisher, not a powerplay opener.)*
