Required Concepts
- Middle-overs specialist: 82% of balls in overs 7–15
- Death (24 balls) is below the ≥15-ball bowling floor — economy not reliably citeable
- PP (48 balls) meets the floor; economy of 6.75 is above his middle-overs level
Required Metrics
- PP: 48b, 1 wkt, 6.75 econ · Middle: 336b, 11 wkts, 6.30 econ · Death: 24b (below floor)
Citation Behavior
- Lead with middle-overs specialisation (336 balls, 11 wickets, 6.30 economy).
- PP figures are citeable (48 balls, 6.75 econ) but note it's above his middle-overs level.
- Death: 24 balls is below the ≥15-ball floor — note this explicitly and do not cite the 9.75 econ as reliable.
- Cite Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.
Caveats

Bad Answer (do not do this)
"Narine is equally effective in all phases in MLC." (His economy varies from 6.30 in the middle to 9.75 at death; he is almost exclusively a middle-overs bowler — 82% of his deliveries are in overs 7–15.)
