A pre-match read, kept as it
was: what the numbers said before a ball was bowled, not a report of
what happened.
Each batter against the bowlers he would face, by phase. Colour is always from the batter's side. These are match-ups by type, not by history — nobody here has faced anybody often enough for a head-to-head record to mean anything. A batter appears in a phase only if he actually bats there, and a bowler only where both careers hold at least 30 balls in that exact split. A bowler named in grey was read and came out inside 10% of par — checked, and nothing to say. The not readable count beside him is the bowlers whose pair could not be read at all, which is a different claim entirely. A name marked ° is a weaker reading, from less than the full record: either that bowler has under 30 balls against this hand in these overs and the pair is read from the batter alone, or the batter has under 30 against this type here and is read from what he has, shrunk toward the league rate. Held out on matches from 2025 both kinds sorted outcomes, but they rest on less than a full pair does; the hover text says which it is.

Every edge counted twice over, once from each side: a match-up that favours a batter is one his opponents' bowlers are losing. Under each count is the player holding most of them and how many players it is spread across — a total resting on one man is worth less than the same total spread down the order, and it leaves with him. Amber marks a count of five or more where two players hold 70% of it.
