Talk:Googly

"Back of the hand"
What does that actually mean? To me, the back of my hand is the oposite side to my palm. There also isn't a front of the hand for it to be clear exactly where the back of the hand is. Ian 20:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

"seam parallel to the palm"
What does that mean? I can think of three interpretations off the top of my head. Maw 18:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Wider use
What about this?

Sometimes the name googly is used to refer to any ball which breaks in the unexpected way for the particular bowler, i.e., an orthodox right-arm wrist spinner's leg break as well as a leg spinner's off break, and similarly for left-arm bowlers. Jagdfeld (talk) 10:55, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

my new edit:

in Australia it is commonly referred to as a wrong'un (and in Pakistan as the wrong one, which led to the naming of the doosra, meaning "the other one" in Urdu) Khokhar (talk) 02:19, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
