Shelf life of an England Test Captain
Post South African Series loss under old captain -------- Losing South African Series under himself.
Graeme Smith is one helluva happy man after a hattrick of claiming 3 "leader of men" of England team. Nasir Hussein in 2003, Michael Vaughan in 2008 and now Andrew Strauss in 2012.
Whatever be the reason behind Strauss's retirement -- loss of form or series loss presented to the media, the real reason seems to be the mishandling of KP episode. Now that Strauss is gone, KP's return to the England team must be fast tracked !!!
