Animation Research Limited managing director Ian Taylor believes the ICC needs to take more control of the umpire decision review system to prevent the risk of corruption.
The Dunedin-based company supplied graphics to the now defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL) and Taylor said one of his employees was pressured to doctor the graphics.
"We were providing the graphics for that a couple of years ago and I had gone over to set it up," Taylor explained.
"When I got back to New Zealand, I got a call the day after the final because one of the officials from the ICL had gone in to our operator and ordered him to make the length of a six a certain distance.
The poor guy, he didn't know what to do and did it.
"This guy was hovering over him and said, `This next six when he hits it will be 107m.' I thought then that because there was a prize of $US50,000 or whatever for the longest six, that they wanted this guy to win it. But actually, what was more likely was there was a whole lot of gambling on it. There were odds for the longest six of the series."
It is a chilling claim and comes at a time when cricket is embroiled in another match-fixing scandal.
Pakistan trio Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer face corruption charges.
It is alleged they conspired to bowl deliberate no-balls in a test against England at Lord's last year.
While the ICL was not sanctioned by the ICC, Taylor believes the sports governing body needs to take control of the UDRS to prevent it happening in series that do come under its banner.
"We have pitched to the ICC that there should be an authentication process. You should have to go through a licensing process to operate the technology."
Taylor would like to set up a centre in Dunedin to train and certify people to operate the technology.
But the ICC would need to buy into the idea and show some leadership, he said.
