The Diary Room

The Aussie women's team are in T20 World Cup mode and have already been in England for four weeks.
This week, we’ve got our two opening batters Beth Mooney and Georgia Voll joining host Emily Collin.
Possibly the most entertaining episode of the Diary Room yet, Beth and Georgia open the batting for Australia together but have an almost sisterly relationship and are not afraid to crack gags and be honest with each other.
NOTE: we recorded this episode before Beth got injured which meant back-up 'keeper Georgia had to take the gloves. It's almost like we manifested it!

As we prepare to draw the curtains on what's been a rollercoaster 2025-26 season that's taken the Australian women's team around the globe, it's time to reflect and remember all the highlights and memories made along the way.

The awards presented on the show are as follows:

In addition to presenting the awards, Kim and Georgia recap what's been a very successful white-ball series against the West Indies. They also speak about their great mate Sophie Molineux and how she's stepped into the shoes of captain with ease and put her own spin on things.
