## User Question

> How does Rachin Ravindra bat and bowl in each phase in MLC?

## Correct Answer Pattern

> **Rachin Ravindra MLC phase profile** (18M batting, 12M bowling, Cricsheet CC BY 3.0):
>
> **Batting phases**:
>
> | Phase | Balls | SR | Notes |
> |-------|-------|----|-------|
> | Powerplay (1–6) | 129 | **187.6** | Explosive opener (floor met) |
> | Middle (7–15) | 83 | 109.6 | Drops significantly; builds |
> | Death (16–20) | 12 | — | **Below 30-ball floor** |
>
> **Bowling phases**:
>
> | Phase | Balls | Wkts | Economy | Notes |
> |-------|-------|------|---------|-------|
> | Powerplay (1–6) | 12 | 0 | — | **Below 15-ball floor** |
> | Middle (7–15) | 148 | 11 | **7.34** | Middle specialist (floor met) |
> | Death (16–20) | 9 | 5 | — | **Below 15-ball floor** |
>
> Ravindra's profile: **PP batting attacker** (187.6 SR in 129 balls) who slows in the middle (109.6 SR, 83 balls), plus **middle-overs bowling specialist** (11 wickets, 7.34 economy in 148 balls). The death bowling sample (9 balls, 5 wickets) is below floor — do not publish the 1.33 economy as a reliable rate.

## Required Concepts

- PP batting (129b) above floor — 187.6 SR is elite and publishable
- Middle bowling (148b) above floor — 11 wkts / 7.34 econ is the bowling claim
- Death batting (12b) and death bowling (9b) both below floor — no rates publishable

## Required Metrics

- **PP batting**: 129 balls, 187.6 SR · **Middle bowling**: 148 balls, 11 wkts, 7.34 econ

## Citation Behavior

1. Lead with PP batting (187.6 SR, 129 balls — large sample, high confidence).
2. Note middle bowling (148 balls, 11 wkts, 7.34 econ) as second key contribution.
3. Middle batting drops to 109.6 SR — Ravindra consolidates after his PP explosion.
4. Explicitly caveat death bowling (9 balls — below floor, economy not reliable).
5. Cite Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.

## Caveats

- Death bowling (9 balls, 5 wickets, 1.33 economy) is below the ≥15-ball floor — the economy figure is not a reliable rate; do not publish as "1.33 death economy."
- Death batting (12 balls) below floor — no death batting rate.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Ravindra has an elite 1.33 death-bowling economy in MLC." *(9 balls is well below the ≥15-ball bowling floor — this figure is a statistical artefact from an extremely small sample and must not be published as a reliable rate.)*
