Will the sequence continue?

Immediately after the 2003 Cricket World Cup, after coming under heavy criticism, he stepped down as one-day captain, passing on the reins to Michael Vaughan. Later in 2003, Hussain announced his retirement as Test captain after England had been on the receiving end of Graeme Smith's 277 but had narrowly clung on for a draw in the first Test against South Africa, again being replaced by Vaughan. Vaughan's captaincy career would subsequently echo Hussain's: Vaughan resigned the one-day captaincy after a poor showing at the 2007 Cricket World Cup and subsequently resigned the Test captaincy after a series loss, which was instigated by Graeme Smith's batting.

Strauss resigns ODI captaincy after 2011 WC.

And now Graeme Smith and SA return.
