In cricket, a googly is a type of delivery bowled by a right-arm leg spin bowler. It is a variation of the typical leg-spin delivery, but it turns the other way, towards the leg stump rather than the off stump. The googly is delivered out of the back of the hand, with the wrist 180 degrees to the ground. The bowler achieves this change of spin by bending the wrist sharply from the normal leg break delivery position. The ball is presented from the bowlers hand in such a way that once the ball pitches, it deviates in the opposite direction of a leg-spinning type of delivery. While a normal leg break spins from the leg to the off side, away from a right-handed batter, a googly spins the other side, from off to leg, into a right-handed batter. The googly is a major weapon in the arsenal of a leg spin bowler, and can be one of the leg-spinners prize weapons.
