Literature
The Noblest Game 10: "This is above all a picture of two friends: Mynn and Felix played together for Kent and were the only two amateurs to appear regularly for the All-England Eleven in its great days." Pageant of Cricket p. 80: "The mighty Mynn with his talented little adversary Felix ... in two such matches that summer, both lost, the left-hander managed only four runs off the bat from 518 balls sent down by his gargantuan adversary."
