Jenner to conduct West Indies course

The Jamaica Gleaner

Former Australian Test leg-spinner Terry Jenner will conduct a course for wrist spinners for the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) at the Cricket Centre in Antigua from tomorrow until August 9.

Jenner, regarded as one of the leading authorities on the art of wrist spin, was instrumental in developing the skills of Australian spinners Shane Warne and Stuart MacGill.

Participants in the course, who were chosen by the WICB selection panel, are Mahendra Nagamootoo and Ramnaresh Sarwan (Guyana), Rawl Lewis and Camilus Alexander (Grenada) and Dinanath Ramnarine and Avidesh Samaroo (Trinidad and Tobago). Wayne Phillip (Dominica) will act as wicketkeeper during the course.

The senior cricket coaches in Antigua have been invited to attend sessions of the workshop in order to familiarise themselves with the methods Jenner has used so successfully in the development of wrist-spin bowling.

WICB director of coaching Reggie Scarlett said, "this course should be of the highest quality considering the calibre of those taking part and the reputation of the tutor".

"We will be doing our utmost to maintain this standard when the fast bowling, wicketkeeping, batting and orthodox spin bowling camps are held in September," he said.
