They have an equal WC record. Also, Shami is even more WC reliant for his record.

Shami's record is better against top teams.
And don't understand the second line?
Migara

Jayasuriya is easily better ODI player than Akram. There's nothing much seperating Akram, Murali, McGrath and Garner with the ball too.

Hata wasn't that great. Lack of consistency.

Pollock is a much better bowler while Kapil is a better batter. Hence, Pollock wins it.

Both are among the greatest. You can’t say Jaya is easily better. I doubt he actually is better overall also. Wasim was the standout in 1992 WC Finals and went on to pick 500 ODI wickets. Probably the record of most wickets by pacer that will remain unbeaten.

Folks having Pollock in their top five ODI players is crazy.
Migara

Jayasuriya scored 13000 runs and took 300 wickets. That is probably not going to get broken too. He is a better ODI cricketer easily. Destructive batsman, very versatile spinner who was one of the first spinners to bowl in death, ATG fieldsman and a very good captain. Way too much for Akram to cover with his superior bowling abilities.

I’d probably have jayasuriya in my top 5 as well, simply because of the impact that he had on the opening slot in ODIs (pre Gilchrist)

Jayasuriya achieved this longevity feat in 440 matches. Wasim did in 359.
Wasim was a capable hitter too whose batting became pivotal in winning Pakistan the WC final in 1992 and was a good captain too.

Batting equivalent of 300 wickets is 6000 runs. Players who have achieved that double:
Jayasurya
Afridi
Shakib
Migara
International Coach
Jayasuriya achieved longevity because he was disciplined and fit. Wasim played for 19 years and Jayasuriya for 20. Nothing much between them in longevity. Jayasuriya managed such a stellar fitness record, other than for a freak injury or two, never missed a match.
