The announcement that His Grace
Bernard Marmaduke Fitzalan-Howard, 16th Duke of Norfolk, KG
, GCVO
, PC
, Earl Marshal
and Chief Butler of England
would manage the MCC
cricket team in Australia in 1962–63 came as a complete surprise. He was a keen cricketer, who was President of the MCC
in 1956-57 and was still a member of its powerful committee. He had managed his own tour of the West Indies with a Duke of Norfolk's XI in 1956-67, which had included the England players Tom Graveney
, John Warr
, Doug Wright
and Willie Watson
and would organise another in 1969-70. His father the 15th Duke
had built the picturesque Arundel Castle Cricket Ground
and the Duke hosted matches against touring teams there from 1954, a tradition continued by his wife Lavinia, Duchess of Norfolk after his death in 1975. His Grace was not, however, a talented cricketer even at village green level and it was customary to let him get off the mark before he returned to the pavilion. At Arundel the umpire was his own butler, who when he was out would diplomatically announce "His Grace is not in". The Duke was chosen after a chance remark while having drinks after a MCC Committee meeting. Billy Griffith was the prime candidate to manage the tour, but he had just been appointed the Secretary of the MCC and needed to remain at Lords to oversee the change from the old divisions between amateurs and professionals
that had been decided that autumn. The Duke offered his services when it was mentioned that the new captain Ted Dexter
would be difficult to control. Like Dexter the Duke was a keen follower of horse-racing, and as President of Sussex County Cricket Club
he was often at Hove and Arundel
and had appointed Dexter county captain
. When his appointment was announced it was joked that only a duke could manage "Lord Ted"
. In those days the MCC tour was seen as a social event and the team were scheduled to attend many high society
events for which the Duke was well suited. His relationship with the Fred Trueman
was mixed; he first spoke to him at the Second Test by called "Trueman! Over here!" and beckoning him with his finger, to which the fast bowler took exception, but they later became good friends. Socially, the Duke was a great success, his transparent enjoyment of the game and affability with the players, press and public made him popular As Earl Marshal
of England the Duke had organised the coronation
s of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II and while in Australia prepared the Queen's 1963 Royal Visit
. He had to return to Great Britain for reasons of state for a month during the tour, which allowed Griffith to fly out and take over in his absence, this gaining useful experience of touring Australia.
