Nasser Hussain overcame quite a few technical glitches to become a quality Test batsman.

More than his batting skills, it was his captaincy that had a major impact. He became the first England captain since Mike Brearley to win four Test series on the trot.

There was one place where he struggled as captain and that was Australia. When England toured Australia for the Ashes in 2002-03, England was thrashed 4-1.

Even after receiving a drubbing in the Ashes down under, Hussain didn't lose his captaincy. However, after results didn't go England's way in the following year, he stepped down as captain in 2003 and retired in 2004.
