IMO, they are equally talented as batsmen, but Jayasuriya is more reliable and probably less likely to get out due to momentary loss of concentration like Gayle so often does (yesterday's dismissal against Zimbabwe was a classic example). While both are useful bowlers, Gayle is probably the more consistent on different kinds of wickets with his high and accurate deliveries; Jayasuriya can bowl very well on responsive pitches but not if they are not taking much spin.
