The Aussie women's team are in T20 World Cup mode and have already been in England for four weeks.

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.
