Do not understand what is so special about Archer. He looks so mediocre at his best.

Really? The few games I've seen him in, he has looked incredibly difficult to score off. Especially that game against CSK where he made life so hard for CSK and Dhoni. He has good pace and more importantly, he bowls with a lot of control.
Bumrah, Rabada and Archer. 3 best death bowlers in the world at the moment for mine.
Don't think bowling is the primary reason for SRH's demise. Yes, death bowling has been very poor in most parts but SRH have been fairly tidy in the PP and middle overs, showing that they still hold that threat of choking oppositions' batting orders. Bhuvi is out of form, but Sandeep, Kaul and Khaleel have done a decent job, especially Sandeep. Bhuvi coming back to form for SRH would be a bonus. Rashid hasn't got the wickets for it, but he's bowled well in patches towards the death overs, with no wickettaker like Bhuvi to capitalise on the pressure that Rashid has put on the batsmen considering they are intent on blocking him out.They still haven't got their middle order problem from last season, sorted. Vijay Shankar started off well, but he seems hitting the "cold" spot. Warner and Bairstow have been among big runs this season, but Williamson's unavailability and the middle order issues have caused problems for SRH. And also, I think teams are starting to play Rashid Khan better and we saw it towards the fag end of last season itself and it has continued. And Bhuvi hasn't been the same force he once was. He looks a different guy post his recent injury. Nowadays batsmen feel like they can target Bhuvi successfully at the end.
Should have put on my 3d glassesVijay Shankar to Ambati Rayudu! Tasty!
From what i've seen the Hyderabad pitch looks good to bat on first, but starts slowing down as the game progresses. It will be difficult for SRH to chase even 140 considering how this pitch is gradually changing. One of the reasons why SRH lost their last game against Delhi was that the pitch got really slow which made the target really difficult to chase down towards the end.Isn't Hyderabad a batting pitch? Are they playing on a difficult pitch today? Or is CSK really batting so bad (or Hyderabad bowling brilliantly)?
Are you following tge IPL or Just the CSK matches? The pitches in Hyderabad in the last few games have no means a batting one scores of 140 odd proved to be extremely difficult to chase and the one which is being played today is similar to it.CSK should fancy their chances the wicket which is slower and as the match progresses will even get slower.Isn't Hyderabad a batting pitch? Are they playing on a difficult pitch today? Or is CSK really batting so bad (or Hyderabad bowling brilliantly)?
