It’s still summer, so it’s still cricket time, which means the Twenty/20 – Australia v India Game 2 (1st – 1,450,000) was always going to win. Ch9 didn’t score the usual pick up for a news win with Seven News (2nd – 1,114,000) edging it out. Better Homes and Gardens (5th – 898,000) returned with reasonable figures against the cricket; Glee (14th – 567,000) and The Sound Of Music (12th – 571,000) did OK but not great. The Project (20th – 428,000) continues to hang in there, remaining consistent to ratings through the week for a Friday night. Neighbours led the digital multi-channels but still didn’t crack 300,000.
