We needed a good start. If we have wickets we can play in the middle overs but we lost early wickets and the Australians succeeded in putting pressure on us,\u201d said Dhoni, adding that the Indian batsmen needed to give some respect to the bowlers initially which they failed to do. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot happens at times in the middle. But when you are chasing a target like this you needed to give respect to the bowlers initially as losing wickets early in the innings is bound to add pressure. But asking run rate played on their minds and they played some bad shots,\u201d said the skipper, adding that the Indian bowlers were done by the heat towards the end of the first innings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast 10 overs weren\u2019t good. The bowlers were bothered by heat. They were getting cramps. I guess our execution wasn\u2019t good.
