The version of the story that I recall is that he met the young lady in Cheltenham when he was playing in the Festival and was sent to Germany for treatment for the ailment that he contracted from her.
Either way, it's a pity that he didn't keep his abdominal protector on.
As for the more serious business of the Leicestershire match, it's reasonable to assume that, after rain on the uncovered pitch during the first two days, it would have been a bit treacherous on day three.
The game back then was both faster and slower - more overs per hour but fewer runs per over.

I have to confess that I missed the game because my horse lost a shoe when I was only half way to Leicester. And you know that when you need one, there's never a blacksmith to be found.
There must have been rain on the first two days because at the end of day 2, Leicestershire had just finished their reply to Warwickshire's first innings and only 158 overs had been bowled in the two days. On the third day, 130.2 overs were bowled, which suggests that it was a (very) full day's play and that Leicestershire just ran out of time.
As well as being the only player to carry his bat twice in the same match, Septimus Kenneir was, in 1911, the first player to score two hundreds in the same match for the county.
The Who's Who of Warwickshire CCC says that, in 1928, Sep Kinneir was found dead in the road at Hall Green next to his motor bike, returning home from playing golf. Death was from natural causes.

The Club site report answers the question I posed by saying "..that left Sibley undefeated, the fourth time he has carried his bat for Warwickshire. Indeed, he is the only Bears batter to do so since Ian Westwood performed the feat, also at Old Trafford in 2010."
Here is a question to which i do know the answer:
Who is the only Warwickshire batsman to carry his bat in both innings of the same match?

...and the last batter to carry his bat for the Bears through a completed innings was ...?
(asking because I genuinely don't know)

Paul Edwards' report is very much about Dom Sibley:

Regarding Will Rhodes, I think he is an excellent leader; and we know he has the ability with both bat and ball. So I would be reluctant to think that he might have to be dropped.
Having said that, I am reminded that, during the 1994 "treble" season, Dermot Reeve was dropped from the four day side for the last part of the season and Tim Munton took over.

Well done to Dom Sibley. All that hard work on his technique is paying off.

The official version is that he needed more game time before coming back next week.
If nothing else, it defers the issue of whether McAndrew would get in on merit ahead of Miles and Norwell.

Is Matt Lamb injured?

It's good news for the Bears that neither Mahmood (injured) nor Anderson (rested) is in the Lancs squad, though it messes up the preview I've just written.

Depending on the nature of the problem, that could be areal tragedy for him.

I guess it's too soon to say to McAndrew: "Remind me, is there any restriction on how soon you can use your return flight ticket?"
But, as has been pointed out in relation to last year's overseas 'stars', if they aren't performing, they are not only letting down the team but also denying chances to talented young players in the squad.
If he's fit again, Norwell has to come in for sure. And we just have to hope that OH-D stays fully fit or the bowling attack will really be in trouble.

I sent Harry some notes about Bears players so that he could feed it into his commentary and not seem too biased towards Somerset. I'm not sure how much he used but I thought it was good that he wanted to do justice to both sides.

Yes, he does say Northants in the interview on the Club site, so not the Lancs game.

Report in the Mail said: "He will .. look to come back versus Lancashire at Old Trafford in the first week of May."
So, fingers crossed!

Somerset had actually lost their last seven County Championship matches.
My Deep Extra Cover colleague Harry Everett, who has been commentating on the live feed, obviously enjoyed the change of fortunes:
https://deepextracover.com/2022/04/somerset-finally-break-their-losing-streak-beating-warwickshire-inside-3-days-at-taunton/

...and he only fell 92 short.

Follow on? You're not allowing for OH-D getting his maiden hundred, then?

Early days for McAndrew, though I agree that he's hardly a top name.
I see that Chemar Holder has only played one match for Barbados since his time with the Bears. He took 0-99 across two innings at about four an over.
