WI to large extent were very sportive that does not mean they tried  to intimidate teams and umpires.

Even Walsh did not Mankad in 1987 WC.

WI were usually sportive. But they had them at 110/7. Would they have done that at 250/2 with 10 overs to go. That would be interesting. WI don't go for intimidation unless they were getting cheated left right and center. They don't cry foul like subcontinent teams or whine like the Aussies and English. WI and NZ are probably higher in terms of sportsmanship spirit
