A full toss is a delivery that reaches the batter without bouncing on the pitch first. While often considered a mistake by the bowler, a very fast or unexpected full toss can surprise a batter and cause a wicket.
Example: The batter capitalized on a weak full toss by swinging hard and sending the ball over the fence.
Pro-Tip: If a fast bowler throws a full toss above the batter’s waist, the umpire will call it a ‘No Ball’ for safety.
