Re: A Pro
Though I can't give you exact answers it's something like this:
Practice and workout per week - depends on what time of year it is. They'll have a pre-season which will be more about fitness rather than technique and an odd season which will mostly be about keeping fitness levels at a certain point. What needs to be done is worked out on a player by player basis.
During the season fitness work is mainly in order to maintain a level and technical flaws are worked out in the nets. As for hours, again depends on the player but it'll be 4 plus spent working on various things.
Teens - From what I know of age group cricket (having had two brothers playing county and one in the England training group), it's down to many things. Pace isn't the be all and end all but it helps. It's very much down to the individual coach and what they are looking for, but yes, being quick for your age will help although you also have to have the potential to develop.
All-rounder - some are, some aren't. The thing is that they tend to get better coaching so even the ones who are primarily bowlers are able to pass as a batsman at lower levels (and vice versa). This isn't always true as some people are shocking no matter what but generally people who are good at sport can turn their talent to many things.
How longs does it take? How long is a piece of string? It varies from person to person. Some may develop at a steady rate whilst others may come from nowhere. Others are great when they're young but then plateau and level off. The main thing is being prepared to work at it, especially as I believe that no matter how could there is always something you can learn and improve upon.
The law of 10,00 that stumped mentions is the number of repetitions that it takes in order to learn a new skill. More can be read here - The law of 10,000
