What is a "googly"?

A googly is a type of ball bowled by a player who spins the ball in a tricky way. Normally, the ball would spin one way, but with a googly, it spins in the opposite direction. This makes it hard for the batter to judge where the ball will go. The bowler uses this trick to confuse the batter and try to get them out. The googly is an effective and sneaky move that can surprise batters during a game.
