Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
His performances were such that he would not be overlooked and hence got his first Test cap against Bangladesh at East London. A batsman who would had a good conversion rate of fifties into hundreds found it difficult at the international level. He only played a handful Tests and ODIs, 9 and 11 to be precise. van Jaarsveld scored only 3 Test fifties and none in the ODIs. This made the selectors look elsewhere.
van Jaarsveld then retired from international cricket and signed up with Kent in 2005. His best cricketing years came with them and even his highest first-class score (262*) was achieved while playing for Kent.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A top-order batsman for Northerns, van Jaarsveld knocked long and hard on the South African selectors' door before eventually being given his chance against Bangladesh in 2002-03. His previous summer's first-class campaign - five centuries and 1268 runs at an average of 74.58 - simply could not be ignored. After a handful of Tests and one-dayers, however, he never really showed the skill, talent and temperament that made him one of the most respected batsmen on the South African domestic scene and, latterly, a Kent stalwart.
A player of sound technique and steely determination who makes full use of an adequate range of orthodox strokes, van Jaarsveld has a healthy conversion rate of turning half-centuries into hundreds. He was coached by his father throughout his school career, toured Sri Lanka with South Africa A in 1998-99, and is among the finest slip fielders in South Africa. He joined Kent as a Kolpak player in 2005 and successfully filled the void left by Ed Smith's departure, regularly topping 1000 runs. In 2008 he enjoyed a prolific season in four-day and one-day cricket, finishing as the PCA Player of the Year.
He never quite touched the same heights again, but remained a steady middle-order component of a Kent side that has struggled to assert itself in recent years. One of the team's elder statesmen, van Jaarsveld has committed himself to the county until at least 2012.
