Irked by Joe Root’s dismissal in England’s second innings of the recent Ranchi Test, former cricketer Michael Vaughan had suggested a radical idea to put cameras on Decision Review System (DRS) operators for ‘transparency’.

Subsequently, Hawkeye creator Paul Hawkins hit back at Vaughan, saying that the latter’s suggestion was 'uneducated'.

“The commentary, I think, is a little bit uneducated. It is unfortunate from Vaughan, because, obviously fantastic player, really enjoyed watching him play, and a great commentator, very entertaining. But I think it’s a responsibility to the game, in terms of journalism. Perhaps a little bit more preparation in terms of his role as a journalist may help him explain what’s happening to the huge fan base of cricket so that what he writes is factually correct. In the same way as Hawk-Eye has an obligation to be factually correct, perhaps journalists do too,” said Hawkins.

On Friday (March 1), Vaughan responded to the remark from Hawkins with a tweet, reiterating that he wants the decisions to be made in the truck available for the fans at home.

Vaughan concluded his post by saying he is expecting DRS to be in full flow for the fifth and final Test match in Dharamshala.

"It’s very simple .. Show all decisions being made from the trucks then please for full transparency .. show the fans at home exactly how your operation works.. that’s all I have asked for .. look forward to seeing it in full flow for the next Test in India," Vaughan wrote.

Having lost the last three Tests in Vizag, Rajkot and Ranchi, England have conceded an unassailable 3-1 lead to India in the five-match series with a game to spare.

The dead-rubber fifth Test is slated to get underway on March 7 at the picturesque HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala.
