A toss-up was previously used if an infringement occurred simultaneously. However, due to improved umpire education and training, the use of toss-ups has become much less frequent, and umpires are instead correctly penalising the infringement that occurred first. This means that the skill of the toss-up has been lost for both players and umpires.
