Former England captain Michael Vaughan has spoken on the recent incident when English wicket-keeper Jos Buttler was caught abusing Vernon Philander on stump mic during the second Test. 

Buttler was angry with Philander who moved at the last minute of the throw. As per Jos, he found it difficult to collect the ball because of it and in response, he abused the South Africa tailender. 

The England cricketer got fined 15% of the match fees for his behavior. After the penalty, he apologized for the incident but said the stump mic should be removed.

"In Test cricket, there is high emotion at times. There can be things said that doesn't mean anything, but for the viewers at home it can come across very poorly," he had said. "It is a tough one, we understand that it adds to the viewer experience to have stump mics to hear a bit of what goes on."

Vaughan has responded to Buttler's appeal to get rid of stump mic. He took to Twitter and wrote that players should behave instead of blaming it on stump mics.

"For what's it worth...I think having the stump mics turned up has added to cricket Broadcasts & given the viewer an insight into players/tactics & some banter... If a player swears and abuses someone and it's caught surely it's the player's stupidity not the fact we have stump mics!", he tweeted.
