noun

古古怪怪球，反常球。

A ball, bowled by a leg-break bowler, that spins from off to leg (to a right-handed batsman), unlike a normal leg-break delivery.

Examples :

"The batsman was expecting a leg-break, but the bowler surprised him with a googlie, spinning the ball the opposite way and getting him out. "

击球手原本以为会来一个正旋腿上旋球，结果投手突然使出一个古古怪怪球（反常球），球的旋转方向完全相反，把他给淘汰出局了。
