"Back of the hand"
editWhat 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"
editWhat does that mean? I can think of three interpretations off the top of my head. Maw 18:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Wider use
editWhat 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 [2] [3][4], meaning "the other one" in Urdu[5]) Khokhar (talk) 02:19, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
