Hello. Way off-topic but here it is; (and please excuse the spelling) in
cricket what is a googly?


See:

Watch for the wrap.

Thanks. I think I'm beginning to 'get it'. So, would a 'wicked' googly
be an outstanding googly then?

It's usually one that does physical damage to the batsman rather than
anything else.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
