England bowler Graeme Swann has hit out at convicted Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt in his new autobiography.
The 32-year-old recalls the Test match against Pakistan at Lord's last summer, which has resulted in the former Pakistan captain - along with bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir - being found guilty of spot-fixing.
"The way Salman Butt carried himself rubbed me up the wrong way," said Swann in The Breaks Are Off. "Aloof and arrogant are the best descriptions of him.
"What made my dismissal of him in the Lord's Test all the more satisfying was that he pompously refused to leave the field despite being bowled."
The spin bowler revealed how disgusted he was to learn of the accusations that the Pakistan trio had premeditated playing no-balls during specific overs in the match.
"It was vile information to digest," he continued. "The next morning was the most bizarre atmosphere in which I've played international cricket. We just didn't know how to celebrate.
"None of us spoke to the opposition. We just couldn't wait to get off the field - we just wanted to wash our hands of the series."
Butt, Asif and Amir will be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court in London today.
