"Back of the hand"
[edit]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)
- I've edited to clarify this a bit more. -dmmaus 23:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
"seam parallel to the palm"
[edit]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
[edit]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.[1][2]

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)
