Cricket dominates the ratings as fifth Ashes test kicks off and Big Bash wins the demos
Yesterday was a big day of cricket for both Nine and Ten, with the first day of fifth Ashes Test from Sydney and the Big Bash League clash dominating the television ratings.
The most-watched sports offering was the third session of Nine’s Ashes test, with 852,000 metro viewers tuning in to watch Australia take two wickets in the final eight balls of the day, according to time-adjusted figures from Nine. The first session of the day did not run due to rain delays, but session two’s metro audience was 673,000.
What a way to finish the day! Two late wickets for Australia now has England at 5/233. #Ashes pic.twitter.com/NLtpzo0tG3
