For the fast bowlers the height matters quite a bit to trouble batsman with high sharp bouncers.
Even for the batsman, height helps to play those high rising deliveries as for shorter players those balls are close to their neck and they have to reach up high to play shots on those balls, while the taller players get those same balls close to their chest, which they can play more freely and belt out of the ground as shown by Hayden and co. in the world cup.
