What is a Googly?
Googly is typically meant for a Right-arm Leg Spinner.Googly is actually bowling off-spin with exactly the same grip and action of a Leg-spinner which surprises the batsman.

How Should a bowler hold the cricket ball to deliver a Googly?
The Grip should be exactly that of a Leg-Spin with all the fingers spreading across the seam while the cricket ball is resting between the thump and the bended third finger.

What a bowler should do just before the release of the cricket ball?
The bowler have to keep the wrist exactly that of a Leg-Spinner even just before to release the cricket ball.During the time of delivering the ball the bowler has to rotate the stretched hand so that the back of the hand faces the batsman and the arm should have to come down with the palm facing the sky.

Tips for the bowler at the point of releasing the cricket ball?
Bowlers’ wrist at the time of delivery should be 180 degrees to the ground and the seam of the ball should point towards the fine leg for complete perfection.The third finger does the most work helping the ball to turn anti-clockwise at the time of release.
