If a person does not have the ability to react quickly, then such kind of person cannot become a good batsman. A good batsman must have the ability to handle pace and swing. This is something not everyone could do. If it were that easy, then everyone would have had been good at playing cricket. However, not all the people are naturally talented to face swing and pace. Moreover, a batsman also need to handle spinners as well. This could be a tough job as well, especially when the pitch is spinner-friendly.

To become an excellent batsman one needs to build solid batting skills and you also need to have mental control and strategic thinking abilities too. There are lots of things involved anyways. I just remembered the skills to be able to rotate the bat for scoring opportunities. That is part of it too.
