If he hadn't gone to prison, Terry Jenner believes he would be dead today. Sentenced to six-and-a-half years jail for embezzlement, Jenner was so addicted to gambling, he had lost grip on his own life. This is the riveting story of a sport-loving kid from the western Australian bush who defied protocol and authority to become Australia's No.1 spin bowler. He says that jail life was tough and at times frightening, but he was able to rebuild his life, re-focus and return to society with his head high. Now he is a valuable member of the community. His work with charities culminated in the famous Invincibles tour in 1998, where remaining members of Bradman's famous 1948 cricket team were feted at charity dinners from Brisbane to Melbourne. He is also the No.1 leg-spin coach in the world, the acclaimed mentor to Shane Warne and an in-demand eloquent after-dinner speaker.
