probably because it was glaringly obvious that the pressures of captaincy had got to him, at least for the first 2 years or so, and as already been shown he had a miserable run at the time.
id be interested in seeing hussains record when he was captain, and when he was not too.
Hussain as captain 45 matches average 36.
Hussain not as captain 51 matches average 38.

vaughan as captain 27 matches average 36
Vaughan not as captain 31 matches average 50

Ponting as captain 14 matches average 56
Ponting not as captain 75 matches average 56
 
In conclusion.

Vaughn is mentally weak, can't handle the spotlight. and has no back bone.

Hussain was crap before the captaincy and stayed crap after it.

Ponting is classy, mentally strong.and has balls.

hmm would have thought that average would have been better, nonetheless get rid of his first 7 tests when he was clearly not good enough and his average not as captain goes up to 40.
