Even while still at school grappling with their A levels, Jamie and Craig were juggling first class cricket commitments with their studies. In January 2012, both boys were selected for England U19 V Bangladesh in Bangladesh.  By February, they were both awarded two year contracts with Somerset and in April, they toured Australia with England U19’s and Craig made his debut Somerset appearance against Lancashire.  By May, he was joined by his brother Jamie who made his debut for Somerset against Surrey.
               
During the summer of 2012, both twins played for England in the U19's World Cup in Australia and following this, they were both selected for PEPP (Potential England Player Programme) and spent three months racing up and down to the National Academy in Loughborough.      
 
In January 2013, Jamie was selected for the England U19 tour to South Africa whilst brother Craig was selected for the England Lions and headed for Australia.
               
By April of this year, the twins were playing regularly in the Somerset matches and were selected for the 1st team.  In May, they appeared on live television for the Somerset v Warwickshire four day match. Unfortunately, soon afterwards, Craig sustained a back injury which kept him out of the game until late in the summer when he returned to the crease for the Somerset 2^nd team alongside Marcus Trescothick. He has now recovered from that injury and is thought to be back fitter and stronger than ever. In June, much to the delight of the Prep School pupils, both boys showed up at school to help with the Prep School Sports Day, and clearly much less importantly, Jamie took his first five wicket haul against Middlesex. He carried on playing for the Somerset first team for the rest of the season.  Reputed to be bowling at 90+ mph, not surprisingly, he was selected for the England Lions against Bangladesh and was subsequently selected for the full England One Day Squad.  He has recently been included in the EPP (England Performance Programme) made up of 16 players, while Craig has been re-selected for the PEPP programme and new contracts have been signed by the twins with Somerset for the next three years.
 
What does the future hold? This winter they both head out to Portugal to train as part of the PEPP programme and Craig will continue onto South Africa with the PEPP programme.  Jamie has been selected to travel to Sri Lanka with the England Lions.
