England cricket star Tammy Beaumont joins Georgie to revisit one of the defining moments of her career - her player of the series performance at the 2017 Women’s Cricket World Cup. Tammy opens up about the build-up to that tournament, the emotions in the dressing room, and the personal torment which defined her first few innings. She shares how the experience has shaped her perspective on pressure, preparation, and what it takes to deliver when it matters most. And, with the T20 World Cup coming to England next year, she reveals that she’s fired up for another tilt at glory on home soil.
We also rewind to her early years in Kent, exploring the influences, setbacks, and breakthroughs that turned a cricket-mad youngster into one of the most consistent performers in the women’s game. Tammy talks candidly about navigating multiple formats and the mindset shifts needed to excel in each.
With The Hundred in full swing and Tammy leading Welsh Fire, she reflects on how she adapts to changing conditions, opposition strategies and the evolving landscape of women’s cricket. Her insights reveal the balance of mental toughness, adaptability, and self-belief needed to thrive at the very top.
Away from cricket, she shares her admiration for the England women’s football and rugby teams, crediting them for raising the profile of women’s sport and inspiring the next generation. She talks about the pride of seeing them succeed on the world stage, and how she plans to use their success as research material for her Masters dissertation.
As she prepares for the 50 over World Cup in September, Tammy takes time to talk to Georgie about a life well spent at the pinnacle of her sport.
