His mother's English, completely different case - he didn't shop around for the best available country to pledge his allegiance to.. not that I object to shopping around, but it is rather mercenary.
Ervine would have a hard time playing for either England or Australia - he is young, but by the time he gets qualified legally to represent either, he would be around 28; generally considered too old for ODI and Test debuts unless its an exceptional case (eg Gilchrist being kept out by Healy). By that time, I reckon there will be many younger Englishmen and Australians who will be thought to have greater potential and so the national coaches would prefer to invest in them as opposed to a near-30 with only a few years left on the clock. He should stick to Zimbabwe....
