Hello viewers ! welcome to Nothing But Cricket..
In this video am gonna talk about "The Googly Delivery"
It is otherwise called as wrong'un
Let me explain about googly first
A normal leg spin delivery will go away from the right hander
but when a googly is bowled the ball will come in to the right hander
so it's a variation for the leg spinners and it'll confuse the batsmen
Since it is looking similar to leg spin but spins the opposite way it is said to be wrong'un
This delivery can be bowled with a simple wrist variation from the leg spin delivery
and many of you guys were asking for this video that's why i'm doing this video..
For better understanding please watch the legspin video which I have posted before..
Only after mastering Leg spin you can go for googly
you can find the legspin video up here in cards

To get notified whenever I post a video.. lets go into the video..
In this video am gonna differentiate googly from leg spin for better understanding..
The first and fore most difference between leggy and googly is release point..
the release point of leg spin delivery will be away from the body
so the release point will be less in height..
but in googly , the release point will be closer to the body comparing leggies
so the release point will be taller than leg spin..
The second difference is regarding wrist position
wrist position is the key for bowling a googly
While bowling legspin - back of the arm (wrist) will be facing towards our face
while bowling googly - back of the arm (wrist) will be pointing the batsmen
when we bowl leg spin the seam will face the thirdman fielder and move forward
but for off spinners the seam will face towards fine leg.. which is applicable for googly too..
In order to make that happen, the wrist is twisted and back of the arm is made to face the batsman
eventually the seam will be facing fine leg position so the ball turns into the batsman
so this minute change in the wrist position is the key parameter of a googly delivery
It might appear easy but it is really difficult to have a controlled googly delivery
the third difference between legspin and googly is the body position
Maintaining side-on position is easy while bowling leg spin
but while bowling googly it is difficult to maintain side on as we full turn our wrist in opposite side
some people tend to maintain side on while bowling googly
but most of them will bowl open chested to be more comfortable while bowling googly
coz it'll help the bowler to bowl back of the arm delivery without any strain
It's not always about disguising the delivery.. sometime comfort also matters
even if the batsman knows we are bowling googly , he can't judge the line and turn of the ball..
The main motive of bowling variations is to keep the batsman guessing
if we bowl the same delivery continuously the batsman will take us for granted and go for shots
but if we bowl googly in between then the batsmen will have a dilemma whether it's a googly or legspin
coz keeping the batsmen guessing will help us dominate the batsmen
so we should manage to deliver the googly with at most comfort..
there is no point in disguising the googly if it's going to be a loose delivery..
instead we can do small adjustments and deliver the ball comfortably
the last difference is with the run up..
it is necessary to have a diagonal runup in order to maintain side on easily
but while bowling googly the runup might be straighter as we are gonna bowl with open chested release
diagonal run up - leg spin , straight runup - googly..
these are the four main factors that differentiates googly from legspin
but the most important one is wrist position, coz you cant bowl googly without changing wrist position
only when the ball is released from back of the arm and the seam position is facing fineleg, googly can be bowled
though it seems to be like legspin, the ball spins back into the right hander
by this way you can pick wickets easily * added some examples*
if you focus on the difference between googly and the legspin and consider key points
you can come outta leg spin and start bowling googly as a great variation
release point.. wrist position.. body position.. run up are the main difference between googly and leg spin
but keeping the release point high and having the wrist facing the batsmen is very important
now let us check out how googly is bowled
There are always some exceptions like Rashid Khan , markande etc.
these people won't show the difference between googly and leg spin
They focus more and hide the difference between these 2 deliveries
It comes by hard practise.. plenty of spot bowling drills
you should have the control of bowling where ever you like and whatever delivery you bowl
so instead of seeing them and making things complicated.. just focus on your comfort level
so we have to consider only about bowling googly at the right spot
I have demonstrated googly by bowling and I've tried to show the wrist position as visible as possible
If you want more clear wrist position display leave a request in the comments
Thanks for watching the video
I've told everything about googly and I've also differentiated googly from leg spin
The last thing you gotta focus while you bowl a googly is maintaining outside off line
whenever you bowl a googly , pitch it outside off and make it turn in and get into right hander
basically it's gonna turn like offie so it's better to maintain a off spin line when you bowl googly
thanks for watching the video.. please do share this video to all your friends
and if you have any doubts leave it in comments and i'll try to take action regarding that
