The father of the googly is Bernard Bosanquet.
Bernard Bosanquet, a cricketer who played for Eton, Oxford, and Middlesex, is widely credited as the inventor of the googly, a type of delivery in cricket. This delivery appears to be a leg break but actually spins the opposite way, deceiving the batsman. His claim to fame rests on this innovative contribution to the sport. He died October 12 in Surrey.
