A Scottish bowling technique used in the sport of cricket.
Users of this technique are frowned upon as it was deemed an âillegal throwâ in professional cricket as of March 2017. (Law. 213)
This was due to an exceeding rate of fatalities in the sport.
The action consists of an unusual twisting and double shoulder rotation whilst rolling 3 fingers across the âbald spotâ of the cricket ball. Players with short/stumpy/chubby fingers and hands are at great advantage of performing the kilton toss to the highest abilityâ
A Scottish cricketer made famous for the toss - John Blain, credits his overweight grandmother for the technique.
âFucking hell Dave , you almost took my head off with that ripper of a kilton toss!â
Commentator: âHere comes John Blain again, sprinting in , Oh Wow! Heâs absolutely blown the stumps with one of the best kilton tosses Iâve ever witnessed! Scotland claim another wicket.â
