How to do "Wrong’un/ Googly"

The leg-spinner's prize weapon - bowled properly, a googly is almost undetectable.
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.

STEP 1
      Hold the ball as if you're about to bowl a normal leg-break.
      The top joints of the index and middle fingers should be across the seam, with the ball resting between a bent third finger and the thumb.
STEP 2
      At the point of release, the palm of your hand should be open upwards, towards the sky, with the back of your hand facing the batsman.
      Your wrist should be 180 degrees to the ground, while the seam of the ball should point towards fine leg.
      Again, it should be your third finger which does most of the work, turning the ball anti-clockwise on release.
      You'll probably find it goes horribly wrong the first few times you give the googly a try, but don't give up.
      As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. Use a tennis ball to help improve the flexibility of your wrist.
