How to bowl Googly & Leg Spin





        The Googly Delivery; It is otherwise called as wrong'un. Let me explain about googly first normal leg spin delivery will go away from the right handerbut when a googly is bowled the ball will come in to the right handerso 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'unThis delivery can be bowled with a simple wrist variation from the leg spin deliveryand 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 googlyyou can find the legspin video up here in cardsso before going into the video please do subscribe and also press the bell symbolTo 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 bodyso the release point will be less in height..but in googly , the release point will be closer to the body comparing leggiesso the release point will be taller than leg spin..The second difference is regarding wrist positionwrist position is the key for bowling a googlyWhile bowling legspin - back of the arm (wrist) will be facing towards our facewhile bowling googly - back of the arm (wrist) will be pointing the batsmenwhen we bowl leg spin the seam will face the thirdman fielder and move forwardbut 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 batsmaneventually the seam will be facing fine leg position so the ball turns into the batsmanso this minute change in the wrist position is the key parameter of a googly deliveryIt might appear easy but it is really difficult to have a controlled googly deliverythe third difference between legspin and googly is the body positionMaintaining side-on position is easy while bowling leg spinbut while bowling googly it is difficult to maintain side on as we full turn our wrist in opposite sidesome people tend to maintain side on while bowling googlybut most of them will bowl open chested to be more comfortable while bowling googlycoz it'll help the bowler to bowl back of the arm delivery without any strainIt's not always about disguising the delivery..

Sometime comfort also matterseven 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 guessingif we bowl the same delivery continuously the batsman will take us for granted and go for shotsbut if we bowl googly in between then the batsmen will have a dilemma whether it's a googly or legspincoz keeping the batsmen guessing will help us dominate the batsmenso 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 comfortablythe last difference is with the run up..it is necessary to have a diagonal runup in order to maintain side on easilybut while bowling googly the runup might be straighter as we are gonna bowl with open chested releasediagonal run up - leg spin , straight runup - googly..these are the four main factors that differentiates googly from legspinbut the most important one is wrist position, coz you cant bowl googly without changing wrist positiononly when the ball is released from back of the arm and the seam position is facing fineleg, googly can be bowledthough it seems to be like legspin, the ball spins back into the right handerby this way you can pick wickets easily * added some examples* if you focus on the difference between googly and the legspin and consider key pointsyou can come outta leg spin and start bowling googly as a great variationrelease point.. wrist position.. body position.. run up are the main difference between googly and leg spinbut keeping the release point high and having the wrist facing the batsmen is very importantnow let us check out how googly is bowledThere are always some exceptions like Rashid Khan , markande etc.these people won't show the difference between googly and leg spinThey focus more and hide the difference between these 2 deliveriesIt comes by hard practise.. plenty of spot bowling drillsyou should have the control of bowling where ever you like and whatever delivery you bowlso instead of seeing them and making things complicated.. just focus on your comfort levelso we have to consider only about bowling googly at the right spotI have demonstrated googly by bowling and I've tried to show the wrist position as visible as possibleIf you want more clear wrist position display leave a request in the commentsThanks for watching the videoI've told everything about googly and I've also differentiated googly from leg spinThe last thing you gotta focus while you bowl a googly is maintaining outside off linewhenever you bowl a googly , pitch it outside off and make it turn in and get into right handerbasically it's gonna turn like offie so it's better to maintain a off spin line when you bowl googly.
