Brendon vows aggression

Afp, Wellington

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum believes he's backing a winning horse with his all-out attack approach to Saturday's World Cup quarterfinal against the West Indies despite the high stakes involved.
A confident McCullum fronted the media saying he had no fears his bold game plan could backfire in the knockout phase of the tournament.
"We need to go out and play that attacking brand of cricket we have exhibited throughout," he said.
"It doesn't guarantee success, and I have said that all the way along, but it definitely gives the team the best opportunity of being successful."
West Indies all-rounder Darren Sammy has likened his side's underdog status to that of boxer Buster Douglas who in 1990, as a 42-1 outsider, knocked out then undefeated heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson.
It was a metaphor that amused McCullum, who fired back with one of his own.
"In horse racing parlance, I'm a big horse racing fan, if we miss the start, it doesn't mean that we're out of the race.
"I think the horse has never been better and we've got every chance in this game to be able to go out there and win, even if things aren't 100 percent.
