	BBC Sport Academy \| Cricket \| Skills \| Googly
		The leg spinner's prize weapon - bowled properly, a googly is almost undetectable.
		A googly, or a "wrong'un", is a delivery which looks like a normal leg spinner but actually turns towards the batsmen, like an off break, rather than away from the bat.
		Unlike a normal leg break, a googly is delivered out of the back of the hand, with your wrist 180 degrees to the ground.

		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.
		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.
