Shane Warne's mentor Terry Jenner dies

Former Australian Test cricketer Terry Jenner, who helped turn Shane Warne into one of the world's greatest bowlers, died Wednesday aged 66.

Legspinner Jenner suffered a massive heart attack while coaching in England in April 2010 and never fully regained his health, passing away at his home in Adelaide, Cricket Australia said in a statement.

While he played nine Tests in the 1970s, Jenner was also known as the only Australian Test cricketer to be jailed -- spending two years behind bars for embezzlement.

He turned his life around after meeting Warne, who he started coaching in the early 1990s, and was regularly on hand to refine the Test great's action during his record-breaking career.

"Working with Shane changed everything," Jenner said late last year.

"Working with Shane changed everything," Jenner said late last year. His most famous involvement in that Test series came when, batting at No.9, he was hit in the head by a John Snow bouncer.

His Test career ended in 1975 with 34 Test victims.

His funeral will be held at the Adelaide Oval at a date to be announced.
