Now Australia's cricket tour of India has ended, attention is turning predominantly to the local football codes this weekend.
The AFL is now underway, and the A-League is approaching its finals series.
Those, plus the National Rugby League, tennis and much more, will keep sporting fans busy over the weekend.
Having wrapped up the Premiers Plate, Sydney FC now must concentrate on keeping its form over the last three weeks of the regular season leading into the finals.
There is the chance to make history for the most points ever won in the regular season.
Graham Arnold's team is now targeting the Brisbane Roar's all-time mark of 65 points in an 11-team competition when it plays at home against Melbourne City.
Arnold says his side is more than capable of getting the seven points it needs to go past that mark in three fewer games.
SBS Viceland will cover the A-League tonight, with Adelaide United taking on the Perth Glory from 7.30pm in the East.
Saturday night, SBS TV will also offer live coverage of the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton from 10pm (EPL).
Derbies are also the order of the day in netball action this weekend.
The ladder-leading Sydney Giants visit the New South Wales Swifts on Saturday, and the second-placed Sunshine Coast Lightning welcome the Queensland Firebirds on Sunday.
Finally, both the men's and women's finals of the Miami Open tennis are set for Sunday and Monday.
