Interpretation

These player-only ratings adjust for the identities of teammates and opponents, plus the toss and batting first. Selection into the XI is not random; favorable conditions and selective appearances can still influence the coefficients.

See methods and selection bias, the ranking specification, and data and downloads. Scores are comparable within each table, not between formats or genders. The window includes players who have since retired.
