Trained by Jenner, England’s Rashid to emulate Warne

     Yorkshire spinner Adil Rashid, who is being trained by former Australian leg spinner and now coach Terry Jenner, hopes he can emulate another Jenner protégé Shane Warne. Twenty-one-year-old Rashid wants Jenner to help him become England 's answer to Warne. Rashid said: "I've been to see Terry twice in Australia and he has been a big influence on my development. I spoke to him two weeks ago. He was in England coaching at Yorkshire and I had a chat about my performances and where I am at the moment." Jenner spotted Rashid six years ago at one the Brian Johnston Memorial Trust coaching clinics. And Rashid said: "It's a friendship. I have worked with him since I was 15. I grew up with him and from talking with him I learn about myself and the game. I talk to him about my development and my game. "To bowl leg-spin you have to learn the basics. Alignment and head position are the key for bowling consistently and getting a shape and spin," Rashid said. Rashid has also picked the brain of Warne - the greatest leg-spin bowler in the history of the game. "As I was growing up I watched Shane Warne bowling on TV and he was my role model." Rashid bowled very tidily in the one-dayer against Australia on Friday night. His 10 overs went for just 37 and his batting also caught the eye as a quick fire unbeaten 31 took England agonisingly close to a stunning victory. He lines up against the Aussies again today at Lord's as England attempt to level the seven-match series. Australia all-rounder James Hopes admitted the tourists were worried about the rookie leg-spinner. Hopes believes the win at The Oval has swung the momentum back towards the Aussies.
