TV ratings December 15: Big Bash League pushes Seven over the top

• Big Bash League Strikers’ win pushes Seven over the top
• Cricket the only non-news programming in the top 10

The Tuesday Big Bash League clash between the Adelaide Strikers and Hobart Hurricanes lacked the dramatic finish the audience saw on Monday night. The cricket had an audience of 431,000 watching the first innings and 436,000 the second. However, it was still an enthralling game that ultimately saw the Strikers win off the back of a good innings from captain Alex Carey after a memorable bowling display from veteran Peter Siddle.

Elsewhere last night the biggest audiences were attracted to Nine’s 20 To One repeat (331,000), ABC’s Outback Ringer (310,000) and 10’s NCIS (274,000).
