In a top-notch Mumbai, Baroda, Chennai or Delhi club and especially against senior batsmen, I don't think 110 kph is all that quick. Remember that there are club cricketers who regularly face guys like Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel, Ashish Nehra, Rakesh Patel, Siddharth Trivedi, Irfan Pathan, R P Singh et. al. in nets and matches.

As I often say, pace in the air is a hugely overrated and poorly understood term in general. 110 kph can be loopy nonsense or deceptively quick, depending on how much pace it gains off the pitch and the deliverer's natural attributes.

Yeah agreed 110kph might not trouble bats of a higher standard, but point being there might not be a lot of kids bowling much quicker than that, and probably tends to zero 17 yo 140 kph merchants like Aamir, Lee etc. -)
