The last day before the onslaught of the Australian Open, and the last free hit(!) for One Day Cricket – Australia v Sri Lanka Game 2 Session 2 (4th – 1,047,000) – but it’s still not enough to beat a repeat of Inside Queen Mary 2 (3rd – 1,120,000), then Bones (8:30pm: 12th – 583,000; 9:30pm 14th – 534,000) cleans up after the cricket anyway, though Ch9 scrape in with the night win.
