(Reuters) - West Indies captain Jason Holder has backed his aggressive pace attack to make a major impact at the World Cup after they dismantled Pakistan in their opening win at Trent Bridge on Friday. In a performance evoking memories of the team's heyday in the 1980s, the Windies quicks led by Oshane Thomas harassed Pakistan with fiery bouncers in bowler-friendly conditions to dismiss them for their second-lowest World Cup total of 105. Thomas finished with 4-27, while Holder and Russell shared five wickets between them to send an early warning to their World Cup rivals. "We just want to be aggressive with whoever we're playing against," Holder told a news conference. Holder confirmed, however, that Russell was a doubt for their next match against Australia on Thursday after he limped off the field with an ongoing knee problem.
