One issue I have with the Local T20 tournament that starts today, is the experience restriction they imposed on it. With that restriction, players like Oshane Thomas, Odean Smith and Matthew Forde will not be able to play although they are in their mid-twenties.

Agreed! Even if they were eligible, the only one worth trying is Forde anyways.

Comparing the current situation watching them play T&TL...
Barbados...they're afraid of fast bowling..swinging ball...batsmen fail...dropped catches.
Guyana....players can't scuff up the ball... dropped catches...ball going through players legs to boundary...players that had great bowling stats at 4 days invisible.
Now when T&TL top the table, it tells of a bunch of CWI players destined for failure.

If, as you note, the action looks suspect , but then, looking at it closely, he moves his wrist at the latter stages of his delivery.
I don't know if such is classified as pelting.
The umps have allowed him to continue, and they are closer than we are. Plus, Riefer was the TV ump...
