Is BCCI's judgement on DRS based on inferior technology?

Channel Nine, the cricket broadcaster in Australia had hoped that there would be a change in India’s stubborn stance of not willing to allow the use of Decision Review System (DRS) due to the importance of the series and the history that goes with it. Brad McNamara, the executive producer of Nine’s cricket coverage, said he was perplexed why India had concerns with the review system used by his network. “We are not really sure what they are basing that on. I just hope they are not basing their judgments on the inferior technology instead of the good one. We are fairly certain we are using the best technology available. If India get a couple of rough ones through the summer, they might all of a sudden become a fan of the DRS.” However, the BCCI made it clear during its pre-tour inspection a fortnight ago it still has concerns with the accuracy of electronic aids. With umpires under pressure to perform, there are all the chances that an umpire can make a mistake on a crucial decision, hence raising tensions on the field.

McNamara added Nine’s devices were state of the art. “The Hot Spot uses infra-red cameras. The ball tracking, the one we use is six high-speed cameras run by fibre optic cable and running at 240 frames a second. “The poor cousin of it, so to speak, runs through TV cameras at 50 frames per second.” The Indian cricket board was able to convince the ICC to remove the compulsory use of DRS. The new rules state that both nations must agree to its use. India allowed Hot Spot, the thermal imaging technology, to be used in the England series for close catches and edges but the controversial comments of Michael Vaughan on VVS Laxman applying Vaseline on the edge of his bat to fool the technology is well documented. Vaughan may have faced a lot of flak for that, but his comments could have played a role in the removal of Hot Spot in the Australia series, despite its technology being upgraded in recent months.
