	Nasser Hussain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hussain became Test captain at a low point in the England cricket history, and his first series in charge saw England lose to New Zealand at home, after which he was booed by the England fans.
		Hussain was captain of both the Test and One Day International England teams until after the Cricket World Cup in 2003, when England failed to make the second round after boycotting the match against Zimbabwe in Harare, citing security concerns.
		Hussain continued as a batsman in the England Test team until May 2004, when, after scoring a century and the winning runs in the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's, Hussain announced his immediate retirement from international and first-class cricket on May 27, 2004.

	Nasser Hussain resigns as England's captain
		Hussain claimed that he took the decision in the interests of the team, - an questionable statement given that his replacement, Michael Vaughan, now has two days to prepare for the next Test match.
		Hussain's sudden decision to quit indicates that he felt he had been upstaged by his younger team-mate, Vaughan's success in the one-dayers indicates that he is now ready to take on the top job.
		Hussain was lucky that he was always able to select his best team in those four series wins, but upon the start of the next English summer his luck ran out, and he has been dogged by ill fortune ever since.

	Nasser Hussain calls it a day
		Former England captain Nasser Hussain announced he is retiring from the game, three days after scoring a match-winning century against New Zealand.
		Hussain, who plays for Essex, scored 103 not out at Lord's on Monday as England won the first of three Tests against the New Zealanders by seven wickets.
		Hussain said pride played a part in his decision as he did not want to be tapped on the shoulder one day by the selectors and told he was dropped.

	Nasser Hussain: The Jurisprudence of Emergency, University of Michigan Press
		Nasser Hussain focuses on the relationship between "emergency" and the law to develop a subtle new theory of those moments in which the normative rule of law is suspended.
		Hussain argues that the interaction of these competing ideologies exemplifies a conflict central to all Western legal systems -- between the universal, rational operation of law on the one hand and the absolute sovereignty of the state on the other.
		Hussain's interdisciplinary approach and subtly shaded revelations will be of interest to historians as well as scholars of legal and political theory.

		Hussain, who was conferred an honorary membership by the 155-year-old club, said he considered it to be as significant as receiving the OBE (Order of the British Empire) in Britain's New Year honours list this year.
		Hussain, who led his inexperienced side to a 16-run win at Cuttack to level the six-match series 1-1 on Tuesday, said he would be concentrating fully on the game despite all the memories.
		Hussain's father Jawad, who played first-class cricket for the local state side as an off-spinner in the early seventies, was delighted that Nasser would be leading England at his home ground.

	Telegraph \| Sport \| Hussain quits lead role
		Hussain's assessment that England are better with him as captain is accurate against all countries bar Australia, against whom he seeks respect to the point where his forensic mind becomes overwrought.
		Hussain's only request, in public at least, is that his successor be young enough to grow with the job, which would seem to rule out Hollioake, who is 31, though not necessarily with the selectors.
		Hussain was on the golf course when he heard of his team's fate, a mode of relaxation used by generations of cricketers down the ages.

		Nasser Hussain's life is presented here, warts and all, for the reader to digest and ultimately you will find yourself passing judgment upon a cricketer who has been hated as much as he has been respected.
		Nasser Hussain is a man who obviously put lots of peoples backs up during his career but if he had tried to be Mr Nice Guy it is quite clear he would have failed in his quest to be so successful as a cricketer.
		Nasser Hussain seems to be in fear of upsetting his father, to the point of getting his brother to phone up his father when he stood down as England captain and then again when his career came to an end.

	Hussain under pressure
		Former captain Nasser Hussain is facing the chop for the crucial 3rd Test against Sri Lanka, starting in Colombo on Thursday (0430 GMT).
		Hussain is under serious pressure to hold his place after Paul Collingwood's impressive displays in the opening two Tests –; which were both drawn - and also because England are now looking to alter the balance of their team as their seek a series-clinching victory.
		Hussain has an obvious advantage in terms of experience – he was captain here when England triumphed in 2001 – but Collingwood's calm batting and superb close-in fielding may just get him the nod.

	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Nasser Hussain
		Brought up by his Indian-born, Essex-based coach of a father with the ambition to represent England, Nasser Hussain's desire was such that he was prepared to forgo his natural style - opening the face of the bat, running the ball to third man - to succeed at Test level.
		Under Hussain, England won four Test series in a row for the first time since Brearley, and rose to third place in the ICC Test Championship table when it was launched, after being ninth and last in the prototype Wisden World Championship in September 1999.
		Hussain's style of captaincy was a reflection of his personality, never static, always full of energy and ideas.

		Hussain is an assistant professor of law, jurisprudence and social thought at Amherst College.
		Focusing on the relationship between "emergency" and the law to develop a subtle new theory of those moments in which the normative rule of law is suspended, Hussain begins by examining British colonial rule in India from the late 18th to the early 20th century.
		He argues that the interaction of competing ideologies-liberty and government by law versus the colonizer's insistence on a regime of conquest-exemplifies a conflict central to all Western legal systems: between the universal, rational operation of law on the one hand and the absolute sovereignty of the state on the other.

		Hussain, 34, who quit as one-day captain after England's first round exit in the World Cup in South Africa earlier this year, had just led the side to a draw in the opening Test against South Africa at Edgbaston.
		Hussain was caught in the political wrangle during the winter when he was forced to make the decision whether to tour Zimbabwe for England's World Cup match against the hosts.
		Hussain said he wants to be remembered as, "as someone who tried his hardest at all times and as someone whose players played for him, and as someone didn't carry on doing it just because there was a few quid involved."

	Nasser Hussain is Mr. England at the moment
		From a low point when Hussain took charge England rank third in the world, for all the defeat in the recent tri-series there is a genuine respect for their hopes of winning the World Cup and the Holy Grail of a successful Ashes tour now seems a realistic proposition.
		Hussain is admired from afar because there are clear indications that England have cast off the shadow of 88 Tests in which Graham Gooch and Atherton contrived to produce only 23 victories in nine years; and the 15 years since their last grand conquest under Mike Gatting in Australia.
		Hussain is too proud to continue for a minute longer than his natural lifespan but while he is in charge England will be strong and his successor will have a vastly improved base on which to build.

	How 'Ruthless' is Sourav?
		Nasser Hussain on Channel 4 was a rude reminder of Bill Lawry in Akashvani times.
		Mike Brearley, asked to comment on Nasser Hussain as a leader of men, showered generous praise on this maverick while observing that the job could be done without the 'ruthless' streak the current England captain displayed.
		But I say Nasser was only being as ruthless as he needed to be, knowing the true intrinsic worth of the England Test team with which he was left.
