While Afridi and Gambhir were mouthing profanities of the choicest kinds at each other, here is what Cricinfo had to say:
19.4
Shahid Afridi to Gambhir, 1 run, Drama! Afridi and Gambhir sledge each other! It was on the leg and middle stump line, pushed to short third man region for a single. Gambhir and Afridi collide. Afridi says Gambhir should have gotten off the path but Gambhir thinks otherwise. Both get very close to each other - bumper to bumper traffic! - and go at each other. Umpire has to intervene, he speaks to the two and then to Malik. Crowd roar and the ODI has come alive. The bowler is entitled to stay on his follow-through and the batsman has to run around him.
SLEDGE???
The language was as filthy as a couple of pigs trying to mud wrestle with each other. As coarse as the roads in Andheri East. As road side as the pani puriwaalah outside Bandra Station.
And the guy says sledge!
No doubt 'Neo Sports' advertises it's internet TV with the line, "Words can be misleading"
