A few small but important details missing from the attached report were that Sutcliffe was taken to hospital where a doctor recommended he stay there for observation. Somewhere along the line a slug of Scotch helped ease the pain and Sutcliffe returned to the ground. His head was indeed swathed in bandages and at some point in his innings, blood started seeping through the bandages. Despite that, Sutcliffe proceeded to flay the attack, as only he could do. I lived in Torbay when Bert was living there and he coached us at Torbay Primary School. But he was such a modest man, you could never get him talking about what I regard as the greatest moment in NZ sporting history - certainly the biggest tear-jerker anyway.
