During Philip's debauched world tour on the Royal Yacht Britannia, which is the one sport where the Englishmen prevail over the indigenous New Guineans in their mock Olympic games?

As the Duke's Private Secretary Mike Parker writes to the chaps back at the Thursday Club, “Because the Duke isn’t much one for ceremony, preferring sport and competition to dinners and speeches, everywhere we’ve gone we’ve had our own small scale Olympics.“ While the New Guineans prevailed in all of the other competitions (foot races, tug-of-war, etc.), the visiting sailors could reliably crush them in cricket. ("Mainly because cricket as a sport has never been seen before in New Guinea“, Mike admits.)
