• Nine has the edge again despite Thunder clap from Daniel Sams
• Nine’s winning early evening with News, A Current Affair & GCC

Just why audiences chose old Gold Coast Cops over the cricket could be confusing sports rights negotiators. Would bigger audiences turn out if the teams included the likes of Steve Smith and David Warner? (Not that Test players have ever regularly appeared in the competition.)
