Tim Paine won't visit the ball-tracking truck before the Test summer is over, after being offered an invitation from its operators following criticism from him.

Tim Paine won't use his spare day in Melbourne to take up an invitation to tour the ball-tracking truck after questioning its accuracy in the Boxing Day Test.

The review system was a key talking point of the Test, with Paine even admitting during the win it made him "disappointed", "angry" and that he had doubts over its accuracy.

Paine was given out for 79 in the first innings to a lbw call despite the ball appearing to hit him outside the line.

Rival captain Kane Williamson also copped a harsh call on Sunday, while Ross Taylor and Travis Head were lucky to have calls go in their favour during the match.

It prompted the boss of the Virtual Eye system to extend an invite to Paine or any player to look at the system and see the technology involved.

But Paine said he wouldn't use what would have been the fifth day of the match to visit the set-up, but said he might later in the summer.

"I did read this morning that I have got an invite, so I might take it up at some stage," Paine said.

"I'm not too interested.

"I've got the family in town (this week).

"I might get there at some stage. I'm actually doing some commentary after the Tests so I will have plenty of time to sneak in then."

Regardless of his criticism, Paine conceded he did not want to see cricket go away from the technology.

Virtual Eye has long said its original intention was for its technology to be used only by broadcasters.

That was largely due to concerns of the predictive nature required after the ball had hit the pads in lbw appeals, and whether it could be 100 per cent accurate.

"You'd hope it would be spot on," Paine said.

"It's certainly got its good points. But there's just some ironing out at times that needed to be done.

"I know they are trying to get it as a precise as they can. But I think as an aid to help the umpires get to the right decision I think it's good."

Drama also engulfed a decision in New Zealand's first innings, when Mitchell Santner appeared to be caught off the glove but was given not out.
