How does Glenn Maxwell bat and bowl in each phase in MLC?
Correct Answer Pattern
Glenn Maxwell MLC phase profile (15 matches, Cricsheet CC BY 3.0):
Batting phases:
Phase Balls SR Notes Powerplay (1–6) 10 — Below 30-ball floor Middle (7–15) 176 167.6 Primary batting phase Death (16–20) 47 208.5 Aggressive finisher (floor met) Bowling phases (economy rates — balls per phase on canonical page):
Phase Economy Powerplay (1–6) 7.50 Middle (7–15) 6.84 Death (16–20) 13.00 Maxwell is a middle-to-death all-rounder: his batting is concentrated in the middle (176b, 167.6 SR) and death (47b, 208.5 SR); his bowling is most economical in the middle (6.84) and very expensive at death (13.00 — used as a shock option only).

Required Concepts
- Batting: PP (10 balls) below floor; middle/death above floor
- Bowling economy rates available per phase; ball counts per phase on canonical page
- Death bowling (13.00 econ) is a high-risk role — not his primary bowling phase
Required Metrics
- Batting Middle: 176 balls, 167.6 SR · Batting Death: 47 balls, 208.5 SR
- Bowling Middle: 6.84 econ · Bowling Death: 13.00 econ (expensive)
Citation Behavior
- Lead with his dual middle-to-death value: 167.6 SR middle batting + 6.84 middle bowling economy.
- Death batting (208.5 SR, 47 balls) adds additional value as a finisher.
- Caveat death bowling (13.00 econ) — used sparingly at death only.
- PP batting (10 balls) is below floor — do not cite PP batting rate.
- Cite Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.
Caveats
- PP batting (10 balls) below floor — not citeable as a rate.
- Bowling ball counts per phase are on the canonical page; only economy is captured here.
- Death bowling (13.00 econ) reflects deliberate shock-bowler usage, not overall bowling quality.
Bad Answer (do not do this)
"Maxwell is expensive across all bowling phases." (His middle-overs bowling economy of 6.84 over 285 total balls is above-average T20 value; only his death bowling at 13.00 is expensive.)
