THE Indian board yesterday wrote a letter to the International Cricket Council, complaining about the "inadequacy" of the umpire referral system being used at the Cricket World Cup.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India also said it resented the governing body's general manager Dave Richardson's criticism of India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who had criticized the technology on Sunday.
"The inadequacy of the UDRS (umpire decision review system) has been exposed in the CWC 2011. The group stage match between India and England was a case in point which clearly brought out the inadequacy of the system," BCCI secretary N. Srinivasan wrote in his letter to ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat.
"ICC in consultation with Hawkeye formed playing conditions which specifies when the umpire can rely on Hawkeye and when he cannot.
"This itself is an admission on the question of reliability of the system, including ball tracking technology."
The UDRS debate stemmed from Ian Bell's apparent let-off for leg before wicket in England's thrilling World Cup Group B match against India on Sunday.
Dhoni hit out at what he called the "adulteration of technology with human thinking".
Richardson was then quoted in the Indian media as saying Dhoni would not have criticized the UDRS had he been aware of the rule.
The ICC official's remarks did not go down well with the Indian board.
"BCCI takes strong objection to Mr. David Richardson criticizing the Indian captain M.S. Dhoni. Mr. Richardson's comment that the Indian captain should know the rule is out of place.
"The Indian captain only highlighted the inadequacy of the system and rightly so. It was there for the world to see."
