As Jarvis played international cricket previously he has to be a resident in the UK for 7 years before he is eligible for England.

Luke Ronchi only had to wait four years after playing for Australia to play for New Zealand?

Jarvis takes his season tally in the County Championship to 50, the first Zimbo since Paul Strang in 1997 (I think). Streak had 50+ wickets in 1995, Kevin Curran several times (a best of 67 wickets), not sure if anyone else did this.

David Fulton just said on SkySports that he really likes the look of him.

I am pretty sure that Sam Curran has nothing to do with Zim. HIs name perhaps, but he was born in the UK and as far as i can recall, has no relation to the other Currans. I may be wrong.

Jarvis been ripping it in the domestic scene this season. Also Taylor proving his stuff. It really makes a difference when players have quality coaches looking after them and they do not have to worry about where their next paycheck or game is coming from. When you can focus on the field and not have to think about everything off it, you definitely become a better player.

Jarvis starting to prove a lot of what i thought of him. One of our biggest losses. Definitely a world class bowler.

No all the Curran boys are brothers, Tom is the eldest, then Ben and then Sam. All good cricketers, Tom has every chance of getting a game for England within the next couple of years, and his youngest brother Sam will definitely play for England one day, very talented cricketer and is being groomed for the international stage.
