Mount Lawley, Western Australia ) is a former Australiancricket er who played in 9 Tests and one ODI from 1970 to 1975. He was primarily aleg spin bowler and was known for his attacking, loopy style of bowling, but he was also a handy lower-order batsman.cite book|last=Cashman|first= Richard|year =1997|title = The A-Z of Australian cricketers| location=Melbourne|publisher= Oxford University Press|id= ISBN 0-19-550604-9] Now operating fromAdelaide ,South Australia , he is a leg spin coach to many players around the world. He has had a large influence onShane Warne . He is also a radio cricket commentator for theAustralian Broadcasting Corporation .Jenner was first selected as an all-rounder in
grade cricket in Perth at the age of 17, playing for Mount Lawley. After two years in grade cricket, he was selected to make his debut for Western Australia, primarily as a bowling all-rounder in the 1963–64 season. However, as theWACA Ground was not conducive to spin, and withEnglish cricket team left-arm orthodox spinner,Tony Lock , playing in the team, Jenner rarely appeared in the XI, claiming only 34 wickets in four seasons. He moved to South Australia in 1967–68, playing at the more spin-friendlyAdelaide Oval and became a regular member of the playing team. After three seasons there, he was selected for the 1970 tour to New Zealand, but did not play in the Test matches. He was finally able to make his debut in the 1970–71 Australian season in the First Test of the Ashes series atBrisbane . He did not however make a large impact, scoring 0 and 2 and taking 2/95, resulting in his immediate dismissal from the team. He was recalled for the Seventh, and final Test of the series at the spin-friendlySydney Cricket Ground , where he was struck on the head by a short ball from John Snow. This resulted in crowd trouble which forced English captainRay Illingworth to evacuate his players from the ground. He did however have a more profitable match, taking 4/81 and scoring 34 runs in two innings.cite web|title = Statsguru - TJ Jenner - Tests - Innings by innings list| dateaccessed = 2006-11-28| publisher =Cricinfo |url = http://statserver.cricket.org/guru?sdb=player;playerid=1359;class=testplayer;filter=basic;team=0;opposition=0;notopposition=0;season=0;homeaway=0;continent=0;country=0;notcountry=0;groundid=0;startdefault=1970-11-27;start=1970-11-27;enddefault=1975-12-02;end=1975-12-02;tourneyid=0;finals=0;daynight=0;toss=0;scheduledovers=0;scheduleddays=0;innings=0;result=0;followon=0;seriesresult=0;captain=0;keeper=0;dnp=0;recent=;viewtype=aro_list;runslow=;runshigh=;batposition=0;dismissal=0;bowposition=0;ballslow=;ballshigh=;bpof=0;overslow=;overshigh=;conclow=;conchigh=;wicketslow=;wicketshigh=;dismissalslow=;dismissalshigh=;caughtlow=;caughthigh=;caughttype=0;stumpedlow=;stumpedhigh=;csearch=;submit=1;.cgifields=viewtype]He was then dropped from international cricket for a season, before being selected to tour the
West Indies in 1972–73 playing the last four matches in a five Test series. He claimed thirteen wickets at 26.7, including career best figures of 5/90 in the fifth Test atPort of Spain ,Trinidad , as well as making 38 with the bat without dismissal in the same game. Despite this performance, he was again overlooked for the entirety of the following season, playing next against England in the 1974–75 Australian season, in which he was selected for two matches. He had little success with the ball, taking two wickets at 48.5, but showed some of all-round skill by scoring a Test best of 74 at theAdelaide Oval . A solitary Test the following year in Australia against theWest Indies , in which he took 2/90, was his last.Unable to hold down a regular position in the team, Jenner played a total of nine Tests in a four year period. He only played Test cricket outside of Australia on one tour, against the
West Indies cricket team . He played one ODI, in which he scored 12 and bowled economically without success, conceding 28 runs in 8 overs.His first class career continued for a further two years until the end of the 1976–77 season, participating in a two-pronged South Australian attack with off-spinner
Ashley Mallett . In total, his 131 first class matches yielded 389 wickets at an average of 32.2, including fourteen five wicket hauls and one ten wicket haul. He also regularly contributed with the bat, scoring ten half-centuries.In 1988 Jenner was sentenced to six and a half years in prison after stealing funds from his employer in order to repay gambling debts.
