'Weekes is out!' echoed all over NZ

The New Zealand Herald spoke with the surviving members of the NZ team about their historic victory over the West Indies 50 years ago - their first in Test cricket. Sammy Guillen talks about his stumping of Alf Valentine that brought up the historic victory.

And, DJ Cameron, who reported on the match, relives those historic moments.

As that great West Indian batsman Everton de Courcy Weekes swung his bat like an executioner's axe at the juiciest of long-hops that cloudy afternoon of March 13, 1956, 10,000 Eden Park spectators (and thousands more huddled over their wireless sets across the land) plunged into that fatal coma.
