Citation Behavior

Caveats
- GD Phillips leads on rate but from only 37 death-over balls — a small sample.
- TH David has a slightly larger sample (44 balls) at a comparable rate; arguably more reliable.
- RR Rossouw has the smallest sample (20 balls) and is most susceptible to fluctuation.
- Death-over batting SR is volatile — compare samples before asserting dominance.
- MLC 2026 data is not yet included in this snapshot.
