Better ODI Batsman : Gayle or Sehwag?

[shivfan]

I haven't followed the IPL at all,but i was going through cricinfo today and found out that Gayle hit a century.In the comments section of the match bulletin,i noted an interesting comment:

"For those of you who keep harping about Gayles consistency, check this out Gayle has a higher battibg average in ODIs than Sewag 39 to 35 he has more centurries 19 to 14 despite playing less ODIs Do we say Sewag is inconsistent? In fact he has a better avergae than several top ODI openers. The problem is that he is playing on a lsoing team and has to score big everytime fior them to win"

The comparison had never crossed my mind before this comment.So,who do you think is better?

Wow, I didn't realise that....

Gayle,just by a very narrow margin.Sehwag has our brute of a batting line up to fall back on whenevr he does something stupid,which is pretty often.
