What is the difference between googly and leg spin?

A leg-spinner’s stock delivery is a ball that after pitching leaves a right-handed batsman. A googly is bowled with the same grip and action but instead of spinning away, spins in. It is bowled by an off spinner, and instead of the ball turning from off to leg, does the reverse.

How do you do leg spin and googly?

You spin the ball by rotating the fingers. If done properly, the ball should turn from off to leg for right handers. If the batsman comes out of his crease and misses the googly, he can be stumped. To bowl a topspinner, grip the ball as you would a leg break.

What is the difference between leg spin and off spin?

Off spin contrasts with leg spin, in which the ball spins from leg to off and which is bowled with a very different action (wrist spin). For a right-handed batsman, the ball moves in towards the batsman’s body, meaning the batsman’s legs are usually in the path of the ball if it misses the bat or takes an edge.

Is googly and wrong’un same?

A googly, or “wrong’un”, is a delivery which looks like a normal leg-spinner but actually turns towards the batsmen, like an off-break, rather than away from the bat. Unlike a normal leg-break, a googly is delivered out of the back of the hand, with the wrist 180 degrees to the ground.
