Personally I'd say Sidhu, Das, Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman, Ganguly, Azharruddin and Mongia (not the mention the likes of Gavaskar, Viswanath, Vengsarkar and countless other past wonders) weren't all that bad at it.Indian cricket has been a journey from a low of being complete **** to a high of being almost complete-****, and then back to complete **** again.
We need bowlers who can bowl pace, and batsman who can play it. Simple as that.
Quality batsmen are quality batsmen. Even if you don't face much seam when you're growing up, you can still learn to play it once you do.
