You mean apart from gving the batsman less time to deal with the ball movement? No wonder those Sidebottom deliveries were so 'unplayable' as you mentioned earlier - the Sri Lankan batsmen didn't have to play them! Ask yourself why Vaas did so much better than Sidebottom in the second innings and I wonder if you'll figure out the length he was bowling as the answer. Somehow I very much doubt it.
