I can't wait for the first ODI match between Australia and India to start as we'll finally see fans back at the stadiums watching cricket again even though it will be in limited numbers but at least there will be some fans able to go. I'm hoping we see a great match between two of the top teams.
I am not a citizen of India. I didn't have any problem watching the game online. If you haven't streamed anywhere other than Hotstar in India then you should try using VPN 
You are right, when they know they have no counterparts, they only look for profit without looking at their quality. Which is very annoying and frustrating for ordinary viewers like us.

There was a time when Star Sports was the only sports channel in India. They faced some competition from ESPN, but in a matter of months ESPN India was also acquired by Star. Viewers were forced to pay exorbitant subscription fee for sub-standard coverage. The situation changed when new channels such as SONY, TEN, NEO Sports and DD Sports came online.
It was really very annoying. So most of the time I watched the matches on youtube . And there was no sound problem in the live stream of youtube. There are a huge viewers of IPL. So TV channels should have solved their sound problem. Because of these problems, the channels will lose their TRP.
Here in India, I don't think that there was live stream in YouTube. Online streaming rights were grabbed by Hotstar, and I watched most of the matches using their platform. But Hotstar used the same stream which was broadcast on the TV, i.e with the artificial noise. Also, when these channels have the monopoly, they don't need to bother about losing their TRP. The viewers don't have any other choice.
I remember the FIFA World Cup and the vuvuzela sound was really high but i did not know that the channels filtered to remove the high sound but i enjoyed the sound while watching and it was a different experience but the background noise during the IPL was really irritating to say the least as if the crowd voice was on a loop every ball is bowled irrespective of the game situation and hence i had to lower the voice to get rid of that stupid loop

.IPL was covered in so many different channels, in almost all the major Indian languages. I don't know what prevented Star Sports from providing an additional option, where this "artificial crowd noise" was absent. I can't complain much. The BCCI did such a splendid job in organizing the league. This was one of the minor issues, which could be swept under the carpet.
LOL.. reminds me of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which was hosted in South Africa. Back then, the crowd used a musical instrument called "vuvuzela", which produced a deafening noise, resulting in many of the TV channels using audio filters to remove this irritating sound. It was impossible to follow the commentary because of this noise, and I ended up watching the tournament after putting my TV on mute.

Fake crowd noise was bad idea on every ball due to sudden cuts, noise on boundaries, wickets was okay tho. There is news that Aus vs Ind series would allow 50% strength of spectators at stands so that's a start.

I totally agree with you. The crowd noise system in IPL was very bad. They could not properly give the sound of the crowd. It has been observed that when there are four sixes, there is no sound of crowd. Again while the player is defending, Cloud gave the sound. Which was really ridiculous.
It doesn’t mean anything right? And not important to that crowd. Moreover, this was the first time we have seen such a tournament without crowd. So, you can't expect to have everything perfect at the first time. So its finally happening, they did announced about 50% spectators awhile back but i was not sure about it. Good to see that they are sticking with their promise and i really hope everything goes okay. Games without spectators are never the same and it looks really bad on telly, no matter if tech team adding fake crowd voice over.
Adding fake news was the worst, even in the IPL it was really irritating because the background crowd noise was too much even when they score a single, for me it is better to watch as it is rather than having these fake noises and i am not sure whether we will see spectators soon as some countries are planning for yet another lock down because of the sharp increase in the number of positive patients and we have one more month and it is hard to predict what will happen by that time.So its finally happening, they did announced about 50% spectators awhile back but i was not sure about it.

LoL, I can understand. The reasoning being given is that some of the viewers are too accostumed to the crowd noise and they may find the silent background confusing. But the IPL was covered in India using different channels and they should have made available both the options. Personally I'd have preferred the silent background, because that would enable me to hear the commentators properly.

I don’t know if you’ll saw this news or no, but tickets have been sold out for Australia vs India matches (India’s tour of Australia), and I’m really excited by this news because it’ll be the first series post the pandemic which allows the fans back inside the stadium.
Furthermore if in this series fans don’t get covid by going to the stands, then even other nations will start allowing fans back in the stadium, but it’ll yet take some more time before we can see a full packed stadium.

There is a sayin - Whatever happened in the past does not determine the future.
This can be a general term but when it comes to medication which can have serious consequence on the health of a generation then the past is important as well.There is a sayin - Whatever happened in the past does not determine the future.
Pfizer was trying something else and got something else. But, still viagra is the number one sold medicine in the market.
Yeah when a grand father takes a medicine for heart problems and then as a bonus he has a hard on, how convenient 
.Currently pfizer is the only company claiming 95 percent success rate in curing from this damm virus. No other company has come out publically claiming sucess in curing COVID19.
I do not think they will jeopardise their reputation with false claim. There will be side effects but they will be mild and curable.
The side effects is more important and they are yet to reveal everything about the vaccine.I do not think they will jeopardise their reputation with false claim. There will be side effects but they will be mild and curable.
Punjab region is pretty safe for cricket. All they need is, convince one of the SENA country to visit there for Test Series. Limited overs cricket (for example next year T-20 series against England) is not going to change situation much but yeah this would help SENA countries to think about changing their status quo.
It would be great if we could separate politics and sports, more than enough pressure in life and sports is the relief for many and i would like to see the situations changing for the better. However, any terrorist threats before the tour would most likely put the series in jeopardy though I hope nothing happens.
Hopefully we will not see any mishap as Imran Khan might do anything in his power to provide the security for the players.

We need a vaccine as the situation is getting worse everywhere and we know that once the restrictions are levied there is big jump in the number of positive cases and it is not a good sign for anyone and i do not want to see a complete lock down once again and when you think realistically even if the vaccine is developed how much time will it take to vaccinate everyone, it will take another couple of years or more to complete that process because we are one in over seven billions people. I do not think they will jeopardise their reputation with false claim. There will be side effects but they will be mild and curable.
I thought they would be touring Pakistan early 2021 which is why I thought that way. Nov 2021 seems like a relatively safe period to tour the country since the vaccines from companies like Pfizer etc will probably be available globally by then.
Regarding Pfizer vaccine i made a rant in another topic about the company, the company who created a medicine for heart patients but then they need to promote that as Viagra says a lot . No idea what what the situation would be as the second wave is hitting hard and it is hard to predict what the future holds.

However i think the England team should visit even before to Pakistan because recently many international players visited Pakistan to play the PSL and everyone is safe due to excellent safety environment for the visitors.
