In cricket, googly is a deceptive type of delivery thrown by a right-footed right-hand bowler. In Australia, sometimes referred to as Bosie (or Bosey ), a eponymous honor for its discoverer, Bernard Bosanquet. Bowler bow legs spin by turning the legs but moving towards the side.

Description
While normal leg breaks are spinning from the legs to the off side, away from the right-handed batsman, which googly spins in another way, from loose to legs, into a right-handed batsman (and different from sending breaks off). The bowler achieves this spin change by bending the wrists sharply from a normal foot delivery position. When the ball rolls out of the hand (from the side near the little finger, as in the normal leg rest), the ball appears with a clockwise rotation (from the shooter's point of view). A googly can also be reached by bowling the ball as a conventional foot break, but rotating the ball further with the fingers before being released.
Wrist movement changes can be seen by skilled batsman and round changes allowed for when playing a shot on the ball. Less skilled batsmen, or those who lose concentration, can be deceived completely, expecting the ball to move in one direction from the field, just to move in the other direction. If the batsman expects a leg rest, he will play beyond the ball line after spinning. This means the ball can hit the cushion for potential lbw attraction, or it may fly between bats and pads and hit the goal, or catch the edge of the bat.
The googly is the ultimate weapon in a rotating spinning bowler shed, and can be one of the most effective effective bowler goto-taking balls. It is rarely used, because its effectiveness comes largely from its surprise value.
Unusual left-arm spinners, commonly known as "chinaman" bowlers, can perform bowls with googly action using the left arm. This shipment is usually known as chinaman googly and turned away from the right-handed batsman, like a foot break or orthodox spinner left arm. The googly is principally similar to doosra, a ball from an off-spinner that changes the opposite way from its stock ball.
Chambers dictionary describes the whole etymology of the word as "doubtful".

Mechanics
To hold the ball for a spinning-foot delivery, the ball is placed into the palm of the hand with stitches aligned with the palm of the hand. The first two fingers then spread and hold the ball, and the third and fourth fingers close together and lean against the side of the ball. The first curve of the third finger should hold the seam. The thumb rests on the side up to the bowler, but should not put pressure on. When the ball is silenced, the third finger will apply most of the round. The wrist is cocked because it is down by the hips, and the wrist moves sharply from right to left as the ball is released, adding more rounds. Ball is thrown to give flight. Batsman will see the back of his hand when the ball is released.
In popular culture
In a scene from the 1987 film John Boorman Hope and Glory, David Hayman plays the father who, before going to war in World War II, continues the secret of googly to his young son.
