what is googly in cricket play?

Answer 1

In cricket, a googly is a type of delivery bowled by a right-handed leg spin bowler. It is occasionally referred to as a Bosie (or Bosey) after its supposed inventor Bernard Bosanquet; in Australia it is commonly referred to as a wrong'un. The equivalent delivery for an orthodox left-arm spinner is the (now rarely seen) chinaman.

While a normal leg break spins from the leg to the off side, away from a right-handed batsman, a googly spins the other way, from off to leg, into a right-handed batsman. The bowler achieves this change of spin by rotating his wrist from the normal leg break delivery so that the ball rolls out the back of his hand with a clockwise spin (from the bowler's point of view, assuming a right-handed bowler). A googly may also be achieved by bowling the ball as a conventional leg break, but spinning the ball further with the fingers just before it is released.

This change of wrist action can be seen by a skilled batsman and the change of spin allowed for when playing a shot at the ball. Less skilled batsmen, or ones who have lost their concentration, can be deceived completely, expecting the ball to move one direction off the pitch, only for it to move the other direction. If the batsman is expecting a leg break, he will play outside the line of the ball after it spins. This means the ball can either strike the pads for a potential LBW appeal, or may fly between the bat and the pads and hit the wicket.

The googly is a major weapon in the arsenal of a leg spin bowler, and can be one of the bowler's most effective wicket-taking balls. It is used infrequently, because its effectiveness comes mostly from its surprise value.

Strictly the googly delivery or wrong’un is the non-stock ball in the bowler's armoury for any right-handed spin bowler. That it is to say, it spins the other way to that of the normal delivery.

For example, for a leg-spinner such as Shane Warne the normal delivery is the leg break, which spins away from a right handed batsman towards the slips, while the googly turns into him. For an off-spinner such as Muttiah Muralitharan, whose main delivery spins into a right handed batsman, the non-stock ball that spins away from him is called the doosra.
