"Mental Constipation": Salman Butt Fires Back At Michael Vaughan's Match-Fixing Barb

Responding to Michael Vaughan for his "low-level thinking", former Pakistan opener Salman Butt said that "some people have mental constipation", and their minds are stuck in the past.

A day after Michael Vaughan's match-fixing barb, Salman Butt has fired back at the former England skipper saying, "some people have mental constipation" and their minds are stuck in the past. Describing Vaughan's comments as "low-level thinking", Butt said there can't be any justification for such "below-the-belt" personal attack. The former Pakistan opener had slammed Vaughan for stirring up controversy by drawing comparisons between India skipper Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson. In reply, Vaughan then launched a direct attack on Butt and reminded him of his involvement in a spot-fixing way back in 2010. "See, what he has said, everyone who has read it and have interpreted it as per their own conveniences and I don't want to get too much into the details. He picked things in wrong context, he said he watched it but there was no way he could have understood what I said because we talked in our local language. And someone who translated for his didn't make him understand the context properly," the former Pakistan opener said on his YouTube channel. "However, there is no justification for a reaction like this. It's below-average and below-the-belt. Constipation is an illness, (where) things gets stuck and don't come out easily. Some people have mental constipation, and their minds are in stuck in the past"
