The reason why they did not make massive scores when it was sixty overs was because they didn't treat the oneday game like they do today, with opening batsman going balistic from ball one.

Just some scores from the 60 over form of the ODI game from the 1987 world cup in England

England vs Australia: Aus: 9/159 (60) def by England 4/160 (47.1)
India vs New Zealand: Ind 10/182 (55.5) def by New Zealand 2/183 (57)
