Effectiveness
An exploratory way to compare players across very different competitions. Each player's output is set against what an average player would have produced in the same competitions, so a run in a high-scoring indoor season counts for less than a run in a low-scoring one.
Experimental. These ratings are not official BPL awards and do not measure talent. They ignore opposition strength, batting position and match situation. Neighbouring positions can swap with small changes to the method, so read them as tiers.
Published settings: all 14 competitions, default priors. These match the archive’s exploratory rating files.

How the ratings work
Batting
For each competition, the typical return is the total of all individual runs divided by all recorded batting innings. A player's expected runs are his innings in each competition multiplied by that competition's typical return, summed across his career.
The second line pulls small samples towards 100. Ranked players have at least 8 batting innings; 5 to 7 is provisional; fewer is limited evidence. Season 1 counts, because its runs and innings are known. Innings here are recorded batting entries, the convention of the published rating files.
Bowling
Runs conceded use the v4 evidence-adjusted figures for Season 5 and the Champions Cup. Season 1 contributes wickets and spells but not run prevention, because its overs were not recorded. Ranked bowlers have at least 8 spells and 24 documented deliveries; 4 to 7 spells is provisional.
