Nine took the top 5 places for the week led by One Day Cricket hitting as high as 1.48m (Game 2 Session 2). Three of Nine’s Cricket sessions outrated the best of the Australian Open and the Big Bash League.
Best for Seven was Seven News at 962,000. ABC News (Saturday: 778,000) was best for ABC, Big Bash League (Game 30, S1: 620,000) was strongest for TEN and Great Continental Railway Journeys was 381,000 for SBS ONE.

7 Network in front because of 7Two. This years coverage has been very good, credit where its due. I think by this time next week 7 will be on top. Although as usual bad news for TEN.
Can’t believe no program has broken 1 million.
The tennis and cricket have been exceptional high quality viewing to watch.
Seven under a mill not Nine.
I wish 7 would mix it up a bit showing doubles, juniors, mixed doubles etc on 7two this week. All this content that just isn’t being shown.
That was a good move by seven to show two tennis at the same time, it gives you choice in which one to watch. Maybe next year they can up to 3 or even four games at the same time. Hell, even resurrect the dead shopping channel and show 5 games.
A couple of days of cricket v 14 days of Tennis running over 12 hours a day across 2 channels for the first week.
Splitting the tennis cost Seven higher spots on the top 20 though.
