Hawk-Eye founder Paul Hawkins has slammed Michael Vaughan for the previous England participant’s comment on the expertise following Joe Root‘s controversial dismissal in Ranchi Test towards India. During the visitors’ second innings, a Ravichandran Ashwin supply crashed into Root’s pad however the umpire was not satisfied in regards to the LBW shout. India went for a evaluation. Although it appeared like the vast majority of the ball was pitched exterior the leg-stump, the expertise deemed it honest and gave it out. Some consultants and followers weren’t pleased with the choice with Vaughan asking for extra transparency within the system in order that the viewers additionally get to see what occurs through the monitoring course of to place “the noise to bed”.

Hawkins, in a latest interplay, revealed how the Hawk-Eye expertise truly works throughout a Decision Review System (DRS) and the measures which can be taken to take care of transparency and decrease errors.

“For every day, the guys will go out and measure the width of the stumps. And so that gets entered into the system. So you’re working off of the actual width of those stumps… So you calibrate the system for the environment that it’s there,” stated the expertise founder on The Analyst podcast.

“A good process that’s evolved in terms of quality control is that there is a van camera, which is more an internal process, making sure people aren’t on their phones. But the best thing in terms of quality control is an automatic screengrab of the tracking system is taken and that automatically goes to the ICC. So whilst it will never go to broadcast because there’s lots of intellectual property within those screengrabs for the internal quality control for the people that need to make sure that the technology providers are providing accurate answers, that’s all done,” he added.

Hawkins, notably, additionally reacted to Vaughan’s suggestion and criticised the ex-player’s “unfortunate” view.

“The commentary, I think, is a little bit uneducated. It is unfortunate from Vaughan, because, obviously he was a 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,” stated Hawkins.
