A googlie is a right handed bowlers wrongun and a bosie is a left handed wrist spinners wrongun.
Named after a relative of the news reader Reggie Bosenquet [sorry spelling may be wrong]

In cricket, a googly is a type of delivery bowled by a right-arm 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.
