In the game of cricket, a googly refers to a type of delivery bowled by a right-arm leg spin bowler. It is different from the normal delivery for a leg-spin bowler in that it is actually turning the other way. The googly is NOT a variation of the typical off spin type of delivery, in that the cricket ball is presented from the bowler's hand in such a way that once the ball pitches, it deviates in the opposite direction of a leg spinning type of delivery (i.e. towards the leg stump rather than the off stump).

También ha sido coloquialmente y afectuosamente referido como el wrong'un, Bosie o Bosey, con estos dos últimos homónimos que se refieren a Bernard Bosanquet, el bowler que originalmente diseñó y comenzó a usar el googly.
