Hussain has recently resigned as a captain and playing as a batsman. He was good as a captain as he looks decent and aproach is quite matured. It is not so easy to compare between present captain and ex/captain as the strength of the side also has lot of weightage. You can be be lucky if you have great players like Gatting and Graham Gooch, who are always consistent under you.As a voter I would rate them equally and I wish that the future English captain will be much better and will try his best to lift the World cup for the English side.
