I guess the highlight of the warmups was the total of 421 posted by West Indies against New Zealand. It was widely expected that West Indies would be the dark horses of this World Cup. Everyone accepts that the team is full of power hitters that can take the game away from the opposition at any moment of the game.

But what the West Indians revealed in their match against New Zealand is that they are ready to throw the kitchen sink at the opposition bowling from the start.

It's bewildering that the team scored 421, was all out with balls to spare. It's a great sight for any fan to see the team attacking from the get-go. You can almost bet that whenever this gamble comes off the windies will cause a few upsets and might even make it to the top 4.
