Mr Taylor, who is the managing director of Animation Research Ltd, the Dunedin company which provides Virtual Eye ball-tracking technology for Sky Television, said there was no point continuing to provide the information if the players did not trust it.
He had been angered by the comments made by South Africa's Jacques Kallis and New Zealand's Doug Bracewell at the end of day three of the test in Dunedin.
"If Jacques Kallis can sit in a press conference and say 99% of cricket players don't trust the technology, then we don't think we should impose it on them," Mr Taylor said yesterday morning.
However, after "a long discussion" with the International Cricket Council and Sky, Mr Taylor changed his mind but only after the ICC agreed to review the protocols concerning the way the technology is used in the future.
The first test at the University Oval in Dunedin was abandoned yesterday, with no play possible on the final day because of rain.
The Black Caps were 137 for two in their second innings, 264 runs short of victory.
ICC general manager Dave Richardson, who was coincidentally in Dunedin to talk about technology with Sky, said Kallis was out of line with his comments.
"When Jacques Kallis says 99% of players don't support it, I don't think he's correct," Mr Richardson said.
"As far as we are concerned, the majority of players are certainly in favour of using DRS."
Mr Richardson said the ICC had been monitoring ball-tracking decisions for three to four years and he was "confident in saying they are more than 97% reliable".
"Bottom line, it's going to be more consistent and accurate than the human eye.
"We are on the record, notwithstanding what certain players or officials might have said, we have 100% support for the level of accuracy and reliability."
That reliability was called into question after a successful lbw appeal on Jacques Rudolph late on day three was reversed when the pitch map revealed the ball had pitched marginally outside leg.
Rudolph was on 12 and went on to post his sixth test century.
Thwarted bowler Doug Bracewell was bemused, and Kallis, who ironically advised Rudolph to ask for a review, expressed concerns about the ball-tracking technology used to predict the path of the ball.
"I can't think of any guys who are 100% sure that that thing is as accurate as they want to make it out to be," Kallis said.
"Ninety-nine percent of cricketers will say that, I think."
