Cause he is under 6 foot, his margin for error is very low. He has to pitch around that back of good length area otherwise he will travel to bihar.

That's what I'm saying . His pace and release height meant that he has no margin for error. 

 

His accuracy was poor on this tour so far though which is NOT the norm for Mukesh. 

 

He usually can land the ball at will.

He isnt short tbh. He is very close to 6 foot but in SA you need to be 6'2. 2 to 3 inches makes a huge difference.

You don't have to be. You need pace. Steyn at 5'10" and Ryan Harris at 5'11" did well in these conditions 

 

Airspeed is more important to pick wickets but yeah it's always an added advantage of you have high release bowlers if they are only 135 kph.

Yea bunrah and shami do well there too. But they can crank it to 135 to 145. That's the difference. 

Also both have nasty bumpers
