Kent and various sides
1852-08-31
Nicholas Wanostrocht, who played cricket under the pseudonym 'Felix' to preserve his professional reputation as a schoolmaster, retired from first-class cricket in 1852 after a career spanning 1828 to 1852. An elegant left-handed batsman for Kent, a watercolour artist and the author of *Felix on the Bat* (1845), he was one of the most cultivated figures of the golden age of roundarm cricket.
