Des Lynam and Christopher Matthew enjoy county cricket at the Oval, where they reminisce, gossip and trade tales. From August 2011.

Old friends Des Lynam and Christopher Matthew head for some famous sporting venues - to enjoy, observe, reminisce and trade tales about some of the greatest pleasures in their lives. Today they bring the current series to a close with a tranquil visit to the Oval for the third day of of a mid-week game of county cricket.

As a commentator and friend of sporting stars, Des is never short of a story to tell, or an insight to reveal, about the men and women in professional sport - their lives, their characters, their training regimes, their triumphs and their disasters. And Christopher continues to play a straight bat with his own experiences as a lifelong spectator at the highest levels of sport (and an occasional participant at the lowest).
