How does David Miller bat in each phase in MLC?
Correct Answer Pattern
David Miller MLC batting phase profile (13 matches, Cricsheet CC BY 3.0):
Phase Balls SR Notes Powerplay (1–6) 17 — Below 30-ball floor Middle (7–15) 132 114.4 Building/consolidation role Death (16–20) 30 200.0 Floor exactly met — cite with sample note Miller is a late-innings finisher: he rarely faces PP balls (17 — below floor), builds patiently in the middle (132 balls, 114.4 SR), then explodes at death (30 balls, 200.0 SR — exactly at the ≥30-ball floor; cite with the ball count).

Required Concepts
- Death (30 balls) exactly meets the ≥30-ball batting floor — citeable but cite the ball count
- PP (17 balls) is below floor — not citeable at rate level
- Middle (132 balls) well above floor
Required Metrics
- PP: 17 balls (below floor) · Middle: 132 balls, 114.4 SR · Death: 30 balls, 200.0 SR (floor exactly met)
Citation Behavior
- State the PP (17 balls) is below floor — no PP rate claim.
- Cite middle-overs consolidation (132 balls, 114.4 SR) as his building phase.
- Death-overs: 200.0 SR across exactly 30 balls — cite with the ball count explicitly ("30 balls, exactly at the minimum floor").
- Cite Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.
Caveats
- PP (17 balls) below floor — cannot cite PP rate.
- Death-overs 30 balls is exactly the floor minimum — acknowledge the small sample in citations.
Bad Answer (do not do this)
"Miller is an aggressive bat throughout the innings in MLC." (His middle-overs SR of 114.4 is below the aggressive threshold; his aggression is phase-concentrated at death (200.0 SR). Mid-innings he is in a deliberate building role.)
