That moment where the cricket pays off for Channel 9, with Nine News (1st – 1,316,000) taking the overall and east coast wins. The tennis is still strong for Channel 7, and Home and Away (5th – 1,016,000) won the 7pm slot easily – which must now be a concern for Channel 10 as The Biggest Loser (10th – 759,00) slips lower in the rankings each night. The Project (19th – 471,000) continues to show signs it will improve in the ratings though the two new episodes of The Good Wife (14th – 665,000; 16th – 590,000) ended up essentially being burned off, though Ch10 in evening timeslots still did better than Ch9.

6:00pm: Nine News – Ch9
6:30pm: A Current Affair – Ch9
7:00pm: Big Bang Theory – Ch9
