Yeah if Pakistan [I was so close to writing the shortened version of the word] were in this comp Hasan Raza would probably make the side.

I think Raza signed with the ICL. Could be wrong though.
As regarding Patel, I get the point, but he's still only 23. Furthermore, I'd definitely consider him an emerging player as a specialist batsman. His mythical keeping skill got him picked earlier but I still think he could have a future as a batsman. He's obviously regarded as one of the best young bats in India and has been selected as an emerging batsman. The fact that he's keeping wicket for the team casts doubt over this, but meh.

Sounds like you're talking about Richard Sherlock, Te Ahu Davis and co.
Ahu Davis is God knows where, he's probably going to have to move teams too to get a game as iirc he's from ND and they have Vettori, Southee, B Martin, Arnel, Aldrige, Yovich, Boult, Butler and Davis to choose from.
Sherlock has moved to CD and he should easily make the line up. Oram and Mason don't play FC cricket often anymore and Thompson is the only other seamer worth mentioning from CD.
Trent Boult has a decent chance of bowling in the 140s on average when he's older. He can already get it into the 140s for limited periods of time. Good swing bowler too, didn't let Southee steal the glory at the U-19 WC.
I think Arnel had some pace but he seems to be injured alot (though he's improved alot with injuries lately) so you'll have to ask Heath or someone else who knows more than I do about him.
Burtt is just a swing bowler iirc.
The bowlers picked, apart from Diamanti, all deserve their place. I'd have sent Thompson, Scott or Davidson ahead of him.
Moises Henriques in action for NSW
©Getty Images / Cricket AustraliaAn Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) team, incorporating the Cricket Australia Centre of Excellence (COE) program, has been named for the Emerging Players Tournament starting in Queensland next Monday 14 July.
The 15-man AIS side will be looking to win the title for the first time against teams from India, New Zealand and South Africa in Twenty20™ and 50-over matches.
This year will also see the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) enter its National Academy Team for the first time. Karnataka (a state team from India) has previously participated in the tournament from 2005 to 2007.
Karnataka won the inaugural Emerging Players Tournament in 2005, while South Africa have been victorious for the last two years.
AIS team coach Brian McFadyen highlighted the fantastic work the AIS scholarship program is doing in conjunction with state-based programs to develop players for international representation.
“West Australian Luke Ronchi completed the AIS program last year and he has now, only 12 months later, gone on to make his debut in the Australian one-day team. Shaun Marsh who is another recent international debutant was also a scholar in 2006.” he said.
“It shows that the experience players are getting from the AIS program and during the tournament, which is also being built on by state programs, is really helping with the progression of their cricket career.”
Some of the players who have tasted international cricket and competed in the Emerging Players Tournament since 2005 are; Adam Voges, Ben Hilfenhaus, Luke Ronchi, Shaun Marsh (Australia), Jacob Oram, Shane Bond, Hamish Marshall, Mark Gillespie, Ross Taylor, Peter Fulton, Michael Papps (New Zealand), Neil McKenzie, Robin Peterson (South Africa) and Robin Uthappa (India).
In 2008 the AIS squad also includes two members from the MRF Pace Foundation in India who will join the 12 Australians from the AIS scholarship program and Australian under-19 wicket-keeper Dominic O’Brien.
McFadyen is similarly happy with his current group of AIS scholars and the way they have prepared for the tournament during the course of the AIS scholarship program at the CA COE.
“I’m very happy with the quality of this year’s team. The full-time AIS scholars have prepared brilliantly during the initial 12 weeks of the program at the COE which has helped their physical development and skill progression,” McFadyen said.
“With the talented list of players we have and the inclusion of the two Indian players from the MRF Pace Foundation we are expecting to see an exciting brand of cricket from this group.
“We are really looking forward to putting all the hard work of the last couple of months in to practice with the focus firmly set on tasting success in this tournament which has proved elusive since its inception in 2005.”
McFadyen’s coaching staff for the Emerging Players Tournament will consist of COE-based coaches Dene Hills, Troy Cooley and John Davison.

That AIS team has Skand Vohra, but it seems he missed out due to lack of experience. He's a young quickie from Mumbai, standing tall at 6'5" (I tend to mention heights of Indian pacers because we've seen useless dwarfs open the bowling for India historically) and he's spent a lot of time at the Foundation. He got in as a result of his top-8 performance in a recent speedster contest. Initially, he only figured for ten days, but he impressed Dennis Lillee so much that he got a three-month extension. He's been left out in favour of Aaron Raymond from Jharkhand (played in their U-19 team) and Vidharba FC bowler Suresh Wagh. This was reported in today's edition of DNA.
Tough luck.

Trent Boult got recorded at 147kmh iirc in the NZ speed comp last year. He won, unsurprisingly. No idea what the average speed in these comps is though.

Lol, it's not as if I'm unaware of my obsession, pace does comprise about 1/3 of my posts entirely and probably 3/3 my posts in some partial way.

These type of discoveries and opportunities make me hate the BCCI for dumping the MRF foundation. The last couple of days Indian cricket has really pissed me off. Makes me appreciate how good the system is here in Australia

They're not going to get great bowlers from the Pace Foundation, but they can get Test wins with a bowling coach in the team box. Someone with direct control will be more effective than an academy far off. They are not trying to get hostile with MRF, but they would profit greatly if they had someone like Bruce Reid or Fanie de Villiers as a bowling coach, though there's little wrong with him as a coach.

There have been more than a few MRF Pace Foundation bowlers who've played for India, and none are world class- in fact, some are just plain useless now. They've also had a chance to pick players who've gone to Australia under the Border-Gavaskar scholarship, but when known names among them are VRV Singh, Munaf Patel, Siddharth Trivedi and Rakesh Patel, it's up to you to pick any of them,
