Former Australia [ Images ] Test cricketer Terry Jenner, who mentored spin-bowling great Shane Warne [ Images ], died at the age of 66 on Wednesday.

Jenner, who took 24 wickets in nine Tests for Australia in the early 1970s, died at home in Adelaide just over a year after suffering a massive heart attack.

"Terry passed away peacefully today just a month and a half after the anniversary of his heart attack," his partner Ann posted on his website (http://terryjenner.blogspot.com/)

Jenner served a prison sentence for embezzlement in the 1980s before going on to become spin bowling coach at the Australian Cricket Academy in Adelaide, where he was credited with having a huge influence on fellow leg-spinner Warne.
