Abstract: In this paper we give an alternate combinatorial description of the "$(ell,0)$-JM partitions" (see cite{F}) that are also $ell$-regular. Our main theorem is the equivalence of our combinatoric and the one introduced by James and Mathas (cite{JM}). The condition of being an $(ell,0)$-JM partition is fundamentally related to the hook lengths of the partition. The representation-theoretic significance of their combinatoric on an $ell$-regular partition is that it indicates the irreducibility of the corresponding specialized Specht module over the finite Hecke algebra (see cite{JM}). We use our result to find a generating series which counts the number of such partitions, with respect to the statistic of a partition's first part. We then apply our description of these partitions to the crystal graph $B(Lambd{a}_0)$ of the basic representation of $hatmathfrak{sl}_{ell}$, whose nodes are labeled by $ell$-regular partitions. Here we give a fairly simple crystal-theoretic rule which generates all $ell$-regular $(ell,0)$-JM partitions in the graph $B(Lambd{a}_0)$. Finally, we mention how our construction can be generalized to recent results of M. Fayers (see cite{F}) and S. Lyle (see cite{L}) to count the total number of (not necessarily $ell$-regular) Specht modules which stay irreducible at a primitive $ell$th root of unity (for $ell>2$).
