a delivery that reaches the batsman without bouncing on the pitch in cricket
A full toss in cricket refers to a ball that is delivered without bouncing on the ground and reaches the batter at or above the waist level. It is considered an easy ball to hit, as it is often easier for the batter to judge and strike. However, if the ball is too high or too low, it can be called a no ball by the umpire. A full toss is usually a mistake by the bowler, as it gives the batter a better chance to score runs.
