In cricket, how many runs did you score, how many wickets did you take.” ‘They simply failed to take advantage of their opportunities!’ Nasser Hussain further said, “This England team has also performed brilliantly in the last two years, but in my view the win-loss ratio is most important, so they have to get the scoreline back to 3-2 against India in Dharamsala. will be. Of course, England may have lost the Test series, but they can look back to the third day of the third and fourth Tests, when they let slip each chance that they were competitive throughout the five matches. They simply failed to take advantage of their opportunities.”
