For how he changed the mindset and made us hard to beat, laying the foundations for Vaughan.
I'd have said Hussain, Vaughan and Strauss were all good captains and Cook did a solid, if not great job.
Root being 'anointed' captain and then retained for too long (he's been England captain for loads more games than usual), simply on the basis that he was the only certain pick is damning in itself.
*Why* after such a long stretch is the team so transient that he's the only guaranteed starter?
Just watched the interview with him. He's done, and doesn't seem to have any ideas.
