Meanwhile talking about the game, Sehwag, who smashed 219 runs in his last one-day innings against the West Indies in Indore last year, said, "I tried to play a little differently in Perth because the ball was doing something. It didn't work so I went back to my own style. I will do so in ODIs as there are only 50 overs and you want to give a good start to the team. My style of playing is to give little respect to new ball and then go after the bowling, depending on who's bowling. If someone is bowling well, you have got to give him respect."
